"I shall place them in my portman-tell," said Gashwiler, suiting the word to the action, "for safe keeping. I need not inform you, who are now, as it were, on the threshold of official life, that perfect and inviolable secrecy in all affairs of State" Mr. G. here motioned toward his portmanteau as if it contained a treaty at least "is most essential and necessary." Dobbs assented.
"I s'pose that's why we were called Doe and Ray." "Er," I dreamily assented from beneath the bedclothes. And still later a voice said: "It was rather fun being whacked side by side, being twins." From a great distance I heard it, as I listened upon the frontier of sleep.
BUMSTEAD would certainly insist upon it that there were two wills, instead of one: and that would be so absurd." "Well, well," assented Mr. DIBBLE, rising to go, "I'm a perfectly square man, even when I'm looking round, and will do as you wish.
"It sure is, old boy," assented Weary cheerfully, and tied the pinto's bridle-reins into a hard knot at the end. With the reins in his hand he mounted Glory. "Your pinto'll lead, won't he?" he asked Rusty then. It was like Weary to take a thing for granted first, and ask questions about it afterward. "Maybe he will he never did, so far," grinned Rusty.
"If I put you into a ship and let you go, will you promise to take a message for me to Cnut, and not to come back to England as foes?"

"This fellow in front," observed Perkwite, "made some statements at Viner's, in answer to your principal, Mr. Carless, which incline me to the opinion that he's an impostor in spite of his carefully concocted stories." "Shouldn't wonder, Mr. Perkwite." said Millwaters. "But that's not my business.
Damon, who, panting from the run, was sitting beneath a tree. "Bless my cartridge belt! Take it and welcome!" assented the eccentric man. It still had several shots in the magazine, and these the old hunter used with good effect. At first it seemed as if the elephants could not be turned back.
But the task had better be done, and that quickly. The man is dead as a stone. We will bury him away out of our sight ere we do aught beside." Petronella assented with a slight shudder. She could not regret the death of the giant gipsy, who himself made so light of human life, and would have slain her brother before her eyes without a qualm.
"Do let us walk along and have a look at my queer possession once more," he begged. "Luncheon, you told me, is not till half-past one, and it is a quarter to now." She hesitated for a moment and then assented. They left the car and walked along the little track, bordered with white posts, which led on to the ridge.
"And now, my son, with his excellency's permission, I will call the slaves, and have you carried down again. I am afraid we are trespassing on valuable time, as his excellency will have many things to attend to." The pacha assented to this by his silence, and the governor hastened to call the slaves, that they might bear his son down into the garden.
