Name three people who "make it a rule to get over the heavy ground quickly," in the words of one.
| Captain Jack Morville | The Quiet Gentleman | [Miss Morville says to
The Earl of St Erth] "I daresay there are several changes you will wish to make at Stanyon, but it is a favourite saying of my brother Jack's - my military brother - that one should always get over heavy ground as light as one can." |
| Mr Wendover | Black Sheep | [Miss Abigail Wendover says to her
niece, Fanny] "...But your father, you know, was an excellent dragsman and he used to say that you should always get over heavy ground as light as possible." |
| Lord Carlyon | The Reluctant Widow | "I make it a rule always to get over heavy ground as light as I can, and you will scarcely deny that we have met with very heavy ground from start to finish of this business. We are now safely over it.." |
| Ferdy Fakenham | Friday's Child | "No, George, you shall not! I won't have
Sherry killed!"
Hero said
quickly. "That's right!" Ferdy approved. "Only set up the backs of people if you kill Sherry, George! Always get over heavy ground as light as one can! Besides, my cousin, you know! Fond of him!" |
