"Oh, Desmarets, you are as vain as ever! Let us say, then, of grand larceny. In any event, the politician was dismissed.
It became the face of "brother," the black-haired, blue-eyed big boy who rollicked on the floor with or danced him on his knee to This is the way the lady rides! Tritty-trot-trot; tritty-trot-trot! Or who, returning from school and meeting his faltering feet in the lane, would toss him up on his shoulder and canter him home with mad, merry scamperings.

Then Margaret, who had sat close to the patient all the time, rose and went out. The mayor followed her. "Sir, how call you yon black-haired lad?" "That is Ulrich, my clerk." "Well then, 'tis he." "Now Heaven forbid a lad I took out of the streets." "Well, but your worship is an understanding man. You took him not up without some merit of his?" "Merit? not a jot!
And while she fanned she thought of Derek as a little, black-haired, blazing-gray-eyed slip of a sallow boy, all little thin legs and arms moving funnily like a foal's.
