"What do you mean?" "They send us governors whom we do not like; they make laws for us which we have to obey; they impose hard taxes which are not just and they will not let us have a word to say about it."

I want to do what is right and I shall never let any one say a word against Americans without taking their part." "That's good," the boy answered. "I'd love to go to London." "Well, why don't you?" "It's a long way off." "Do you like good-looking girls?" "I'd rather look at them than eat." "Well, there are many in London." "One is enough," said Jack. |
