Shot after shot the twelve-pounders of the Frenchman drove like dun hail at the white timbers of the yacht, and her masts and spars were flying. The privateer now came drawing down to where she lay lurching. A hand touched Guida upon the shoulder. "Cheer thee, my dee-ar," said Maitresse Aimable's voice.
Doddleson will consent to " And here he cast a deprecating glance at the doctor, as who should say, "Can you permit yourself to comply with a demand go entirely unwarranted by precedent?"

"I mean, do come as often as you can." He bent down and kissed his mother. "By the way," he added, almost awkwardly, "about that dog?" "What dog, dee-ar?" "The dog I want to give you." "We must think about it. Give me time. After a black pug one doesn't know all in a moment what type would be the proper successor. You remember your poor Aunt Binn?" "Aunt Binn! Why, what did she do?"
"Sometimes they're difficult to find," returned his mother, with an unusual simplicity of manner. "Yes, but still Well, I must be off." He stood up and looked at the Indian rug in front of the hearth. "When are you coming to see us?" he asked. "Almost directly, dee-ar." "That's right. Rosamund likes seeing you.

"You must get another dog," Dion added quickly. "I'll find you one." "Good of you, dee-ar boy! But I'm too old to begin on a new dog." "What nonsense!" "It isn't. I feel I'm losing my nameless fascination for dogs. A poodle barked at me this afternoon in Victoria Street. One can't expect one's day to last for ever, though, really, some Englishwomen seem to.

In sleep she would have lost the precious sense of her boy's nearness to her.
Dow went or stayed, though he had never given her the marriage certificate. Indeed, was it not better he should go? Thereby one less would know her secret. But still an undefined fear possessed her. "Cheer thee, cheer thee, my dee-ar, my sweet dormitte," said Maitresse Aimable, patting her shoulder. "It cannot harm thee, ba su! 'Tis but a flash in the pan."
