"If it was only you, they would likely send two-three lively, brisk young birkies, and if they thought that I was to appear in the employ, I daresay ten or twelve," said he. It was no use, I gave a little crack of laughter. "And I think your own two eyes will have seen me drive that number, or the double of it, nearer hand!" cries he.
"Oh er not at all romantic, most prosaic. Couldn't get a coach. Been here long?" "Since five o'clock." "I I suppose you got up to see the sunrise." "No, to see the river rise," she replied. "The bridge is gone." He was silent for twenty paces, trying to recall what he had said about telegraphing ahead. "You don't mean it! Then I daresay they haven't got my telegram stopping the train."
"O dear!" said the lady. "Well: I daresay your sitting up made you hungry enough to finish everything while I was asleep. No doubt it must. But what to do I know not.

Olga came forward and took his hand. "And you forgive me?" she asked. "There is nothing to forgive," he answered, shaking it heartily. "Let us seek for Anne together.

"I have been with my publishers this morning," said Miss Harman. "They are good enough to say they believe my tale promises well, but they want it completed by the first of March, to come out with the best spring books. Don't you think we may get it done? It is the middle of January now." "I daresay it may be done," answered Mrs. Home, rising, and speaking in a tremulous voice.
Daresay we shall see each other before bedtime." A few hours later, I was walking down through the gardens, on my way to the Casino. The young grass, sown last month, had already become green velvet, and the flowers were as fresh as if they had been created an hour ago. The air smelled of La France roses and orange blossoms, though I saw neither.

I daresay it seems a senseless one to you, but I have my reasons." Nick looked at him for a moment, a quick gleam of comprehension behind his flickering eyelids. "It won't hurt you to take Mitchel, Olga mia," he said.
