"It's grand and good of you --"
     "No, it isn't. You've chanel handbags outlet opened your house to Jones and me in the most generous way; Jones was remarking upon it to-day, just before you came back from the village; for although he wouldn't be likely to say such a thing to you -- because Jones isn't a talker, and is diffident in society -- he has a good heart and a grateful, and knows how to appreciate it when he is well treated; yes, you and your wife have been very hospitable toward us --"
     "Ah, brother, 'tis nothing -- SUCH hospitality!"
