"Marriage!" nodded his Lordship, airily, "matrimony, Bev, wedlock, my dear fellow?" "I indeed I have never had occasion to think of it." "Fortunate fellow!" sighed his companion. "Until this morning!" added Barnabas, as his fingers encountered a small, soft, lacy bundle in his pocket. "Un-fortunate fellow!" sighed the Viscount, shaking his head. "So you are haunted by the grim spectre, are you?

I could see only her back, and yet as I carried my eye from the dainty boot which rested on the lowest step to the small gloved hand on the railing, to the small black hat with its blue wings airily poised, I found myself making comparisons between this daintiness and the untidy loveliness of Gladys Todd.

I wonder why," murmured Mrs. Carew, her eyes dreamily following the leaping blaze. "I think it's something in the air," sighed Pollyanna, happily. "There's something about the sky and the woods and the lake so so well, there just is; that's all." "I think you mean, because the world is shut out," cried Sadie Dean, with a curious little break in her voice. "Ho!" scoffed Jimmy, airily.

He, Toodles, hoped he would bore them into a count out every minute. But then he might be only marking time to let that guzzling Cheeseman dine at his leisure. Anyway, the Chief could not be persuaded to go home. “He will see you at once, I think. He’s sitting all alone in his room thinking of all the fishes of the sea,” concluded Toodles airily. “Come along.”

Bah! the Emperor will never tolerate them.

He took the instrument from Hinpoha's unwilling hand, and turning it wrong way up, proceeded to scrape back and forth. At the third stroke it went too far, and gouged out a deep scratch right through the design, clear across the whole side of the vase. "Ah, a little scratch," he remarked airily.

Bobby described an arc with her oar that incidentally showered the questioner with shining water drops. "We're out for adventure," she answered airily. "Just got our swimming certificates to-day," volunteered Betty. Bob flashed her a congratulatory smile. "Race you to the end of the lake?" suggested Tommy Tucker. Bobby regarded him with magnificent scorn.

The fighting men were with him solidly, even those who had been inclined to object to his European tactics had, in view of his brilliant generalship, been obliged to concede him the honour that was his due. For his victory had not been altogether the walkover he had airily described to Craven.

But it was only when the daring giver of invitations was safely in bed, and Mac equally safe down in the Little Cabin, that it seemed possible to broach the subject. He devised scenes in which, airily and triumphantly, he introduced Father Wills, and brought Mac to the point of pining for Jesuit society; but these scenes were actable only under conditions of darkness and of solitude.
