There were three cheerful old ladies spending the week with us the widow Desire Carver, and her two maiden sisters, Polly and Serepta Chandler. They filled the part of chorus in the domestic drama, saying, "Aha," whenever there was a pause. Veronica affected these old ladies greatly, and when they were in the house gave them her society.
'I say to you again, you know whither he is gone, and you must tell me for what he has departed. You obey him there is money to make you obey me! 'When I said his business was secret, I lied not, said the Hun, picking up with avidity the coins she flung to him 'but he has not kept it secret from me! The Huns are cunning! Aha, ugly and cunning!
"Aha! you never saw better pencils. You know I could never maintain my reputation if I sold poor pencils. But sacre bleu, my miserable would-be imitators do not know our grand secret. First, attract the public by din and tinsel, by brilliant sky-rockets and Bengola lights, then give them as much as possible for their money."
The colonel petitioned for three days' consideration, which Vargrave reluctantly acceded to; and Legard then stepped into his uncle's carriage, with the air rather of a martyr than a maiden placeman. "Aha!" said Vargrave, chuckling to himself as he took a turn in the grounds, "I have got rid of that handsome knave; and now I shall have Evelyn all to myself!"
"Or save yourself the trouble, by being just as a change an honest man." "I believe you are right," said Gilbert, laughing; "but it is hard to begin so late in life." "And after one has had so little practice." "Aha! Thou art the same merry dog of a Hereward. Come along. But could we not poison this Dolfin, after all?" To which proposal Hereward gave no encouragement.
Before long out popped a submarine. Aha! A lumber-laden vessel American! The German commander, grinning broadly, stepped into a gig with a bombing crew; torpedoes were not wasted on sailing-vessels. "Get into your dingy," he cried, motioning toward the craft dangling astern. The Maine skipper, in his red underclothes, besought, and then cursed while the German grinned the more broadly.
He is no fool. He knows what the Barhwi means when it is angry. Aha! Indeed, thou art no fool, my child! Salaam, Ram Pershad, Bahadur! Take him under the trees, mahout, and see that he gets his spices. Well done, thou chiefest among tuskers. Salaam to the Sirkar and go to sleep. What is to be done? The Sahib must wait till the river goes down.
"Delighted to make your acquaintance, Mrs. Finch I have long wished for this pleasure. Thank you, Mr. Finch, for all your kindness to my brother. Madame Pratolungo, I presume? Permit me to shake hands. It is needless to say, I have heard of your illustrious husband. Aha! here's a baby. Yours, Mrs. Finch? Girl or boy, ma'am? A fine child if a bachelor may be allowed to pronounce an opinion.
"On his right and left, sir. Ah! there's another brave and excellent young man." "Do you know him?" asked the officer. "Yes, very well. Monsieur du Vallon and myself came from France with him." "It appears, too, you kept him waiting a long time at Boulogne." "What would you have? I was like you, and had a king in keeping." "Aha!" said Groslow; "what king?"
"Don't mention it, Monsieur le Cure. You have guessed rightly. It is a very happy circumstance which brings me. I am about to marry." "Aha!" laughed the Abbe, "I congratulate you, my dear young friend. This is really delightful news. It is not good for man to be alone, and I am glad to know you must give up the perilous life of a bachelor. Well, tell me quickly the name of your betrothed.
