And she was not a creature made for tragedy, but for laughter and love and 'man's delight. Yet, in the Hindu nature of things, this very matter of marriage was the crux of her troubles. To the Power behind the curtain it spelt disgrace, that the eldest grand-daughter at the ripe age of twenty-two should be neither wife nor mother.
"My dear Paton, forgive my saying that I don't think that a rigid system is the fairest; summa lex summa crux. Fish of very different sorts and sizes come to our nets, and you can't shove a turbot through the same mesh that barely admits a sprat." "I'll think of what you say; but I must leave him in Dr Lane's hands now," said Mr Paton. "Who, I heartily hope, won't flog him," said Mr Percival.
Before he could raise his own weapon a shot was heard and the gun-barrel disappeared, while the Indian who raised it fell wounded on the ground. "Well done, Crux!" he exclaimed, at the same moment firing his own rifle at a head which was peeping round a corner. The head vanished instantly and Darvall rejoined him, having thrown the gate wide open.
George is my cousin; I'm as intimate with George as my father was with the admiral; and I've been sharper than my father, for I haven't lent my friend any money. Lecount always makes a show of liking George I believe to annoy me. She likes the admiral, too; he flatters her vanity. He always invites her to come with me to St. Crux.
They had hardly reached and flung open the door when Bluefire came foaming and smoking into the yard with Crux the cow-boy on his back.

"I'm glad to see you OK, for the Cheyenne Reds are on the war-path, an' makin' tracks for your ranch.
The people shall judge between us." This was signed by Dana Da, who added pentacles and pentagrams, and a crux ansata, and half a dozen swastikas, and a Triple Tau to his name, just to show that he was all he laid claim to be. The challenge was read out to the gentlemen and ladies, and they remembered then that Dana Da had laughed at them some years ago.
A single day might solve the crux nay, it might bring the great happiness of which he dreamed. But each morning as he woke with the dawn he saw that mighty army without banners, the sheep, marching upon their stronghold, the broad mesa which fed the last of Jeff's cows, and Judge Ware's, and Lucy's and sprang from his blankets. And when the sun rose and Kitty came forth he was far away. But now

Not always is it the artistic combination of famous chef that brings greatest delight, for we have as frequently had pleasure over a supper of some simple dish in the attic room of a good friend. This brings us to the crux of Bohemianism. It depends so little on environment that it means nothing, and so much on companionship that it means all.
Crux is engaged to be married, and as soon as her master can suit himself she is going away. These discoveries I made some days since. But when I saw Mrs. Attwood to-night, she had received another letter from her daughter in the interval, and that letter has helped me to find out something more.
