If she hasn't come back to school yet, very likely Marcia has it. Tell her you want to take something from it and don't care to bother Miss Dean. You can easily do it, because you haven't a recitation at this hour.
"Oh, Henrietta!" expostulated Aunt Maria, "when it is so nicely furnished with the pretty little green-house that dear Arnold built for us too!" "Don't tell me of green-houses! I say it is only a hole. And I to settle down in it to exile myself from Avonsbridge society, that Mrs.
The doctor had loaned his private turnout, and for a "consideration," otherwise a bribe, had dosed poor Dick into semi-unconsciousness, and had promised to say to all comers that the young man had got well and gone off in the company of two of his friends, a Mr. Arnold and a Mr. Daniels.
Jarvis leaned against an old desk belonging to one of the porters. "You are very late, Chetwode," he remarked. "I am sorry, but I was detained," Arnold answered. "I will explain it to Mr. Weatherley directly I go in." Mr. Jarvis coughed. "Of course," he said, "as you went out with Mrs.
"Be good to her," he answered, "she is in a hard place and needs a great deal of love." "And we can give it to her, you and I?" "Mine is hers already, if it's any help."

"I don't desire to be unpleasant at all," replied Arnold of Sewa, "but I must be forgiven for reminding the honourable gentleman who has just spoken that he and his equally honourable friends did not meet with the best of success when they called upon the Governor."
