That the favour he asked was of such a nature as I, and not my grandfather, could best fulfil.

Madame de Maintenon made some farther efforts to induce him to proclaim their marriage, but she soon perceived that nothing would induce him to change his resolution, and she accepted the situation. Louis now yielded more than ever to her influence; but he was always apprehensive that she might be engaged in some secret intrigue, and kept a vigilant watch over her.

"Go on," he said; "I'm listening."
As I approached the place I saw that Piet and Jan, my two Hottentots, were already busily engaged upon the task of removing the skin; and I observed that both were looking, as I thought, very much annoyed, and a little apprehensive.
Ogden's almost girlishly modeled face was more than apprehensive as he stepped up to him. "He's mad," he stated flatly. "You've got him peeved for keeps.
