Since you introduce the subject of perils, it perhaps does not misbecome me to say that my most imminent perils come from yourself, or at least would come if I believed in your love and accepted your addresses.
My repugnance was entirely physical, and, to come to the point at once, I calmly offered the spectre a cigar, which it accepted, and demanded a light. I gave it, nonchalantly lighting the match upon the goose -fleshing of my wrist. Now I admit that this was extraordinary and hardly credible, yet it happened exactly as I have set it down, and, furthermore, I enjoyed the experience.
Here was a man whose very name breathed Liberalism; for whom speculation had no fears; who had harassed the most hoary conventions with obstinate questionings; who had accepted Democracy as the evolution of natural law; who had poked delicious fun at the most highly-placed impostures, the most solemn plausibilities.
Richard felt, not so much that he was "himself again," but that he was a new man. The touch of praise for his work refreshed him more than wine. His friends, the Beaux Arts men and the newspaper correspondent, noticed the change in him, and accused him of being in love. "Not much," he laughed, "but I am at work two articles accepted and commissions for five more."

Give that letter to me!" "Give it up, hey? We'll see!" said Robinson. "Take it to court if you dare! I'm willing. This letter shows that another woman accepted you, and that's the point you don't dare face in the law!" Whatever else he discerned in the case. Garrison did not understand in the least how Dorothy could have summoned him back here for this.
That he was still accepted with lax tolerance by some of the more thoughtless matrons of the fashionable set was due to his family name. They could not forget that in spite of his numerous lapses from respectability he was still a Mershone.
No formal words expressing pleasure at the meeting were spoken. They tacitly accepted the fact that pleasure had not called them together. James Greenfield was a fair representative of his class.
It would be a sad thing if it did not. Will you have some of this rabbit pie?" I accepted the pie, for I did not care what I had. "Then your business is done?" I said, in some surprise. His business could hardly have any connection with Annas, in that case. It must be real business something that concerned his father.
