Now that's too much to ask of a quiet man. Master Thompson has latterly relieved me, I'm happy to say." Mrs. Doria thought her thoughts. "Has Austin written to you since you were in town?" "Not an Aphorism!" returned Adrian. "I must see Richard to-morrow morning," Mrs. Doria ended the colloquy by saying.
The other was a short, stout man with a commonplace, broad red face and flaxen hair. The two stood for a moment in colloquy in the road that led from Fairport proper to the bayside, passing near the Jasper B., and Cleggett heard the shorter of the two men say: "I'm sure I saw somebody aboard of her." "How long ago, Heinrich?" asked the tall man. "An hour or so," said Heinrich.
The bearings of the colloquy, however, sharp as they were, were less sharp to his intelligence, strangely enough, than those of a talk with Mrs. Lowder alone for which she soon gave him or for which perhaps rather Kate gave him full occasion. What had happened on her at last joining them was to conduce, he could immediately see, to her desiring to have him to herself.
After a muttered colloquy, he led us in and called his wife to prepare tea and food for us, while he took charge of the horses. "You must eat and sleep," Mishka announced in his gruff way. "You ought to be still in the hospital; but we are fools, in these days, every one of us! Ho little father shake down some hay in the barn; we will sleep there."

And after a little colloquy, Paul found himself suddenly marched off between two tall fellows, who looked prodigiously inclined to eat him. By this time he had recovered his surprise and dismay.
Katherine exchanged rapid glances with Rachel. "Something personal behind that, too," she reflected. "If the lady Eleanor dares to go back on Betty, I shall start out after her scalp." So it was fortunate that Betty and Eleanor did not meet on their respective homeward ways until Katherine was well inside the Westcott House, out of hearing of their colloquy.
The wind continued fair during the whole of the first day. Every trace of Valletta was soon lost; and the good barque Boston swept by the rocky coast of the island, where few human habitations meet the eye, swiftly and cheerily. The sea birds sported round the tall masts the canvas bulged out bravely the Captain forgot his shore griefs, and commenced a colloquy with Sir Henry.
And now, scrupulously as I respect the high honor which rules among critics in general, my love for truth constrains me here to record, notwithstanding it may do serious damage to the literary reputation of this history, that this colloquy ended with arranging a plan by which Mr. Tickler was to betray Angelio, and leave her the wreck of a broken heart.
