Why, they were made for you, and you wore 'em. They can't be anybody else's. I never see such a fellow as you are! I brought all mine." It was an easy task, judging from the size of the bundle dimly seen in the bottom of the boat, but Dexter said nothing. "How much money have you got?" said Bob, after a pause. "None at all." "What?"
From what Mr. Dexter said to me, I had imagined " "Oh, you must not believe anything Dexter tells you!" interposed Lady Clarinda. "He delights in mystifying people; and he purposely misled you, I have no doubt. If all that I hear is true, he ought to know more of Helena Beauly's strange freaks and fancies than most people. I shall forget my own name next!
"And so, my love," said Mr. Copperas, one morning at breakfast, to his wife, his right leg being turned over his left, and his dexter hand conveying to his mouth a huge morsel of buttered cake, "and, so my love, they say that the old fool is going to leave the jackanapes all his fortune?"

Events, I admit, have proved that I was entirely wrong in trying to prevent you from returning to Dexter and partially wrong in suspecting Dexter of being directly, instead of indirectly, answerable for the first Mrs. Eustace's death. I frankly make my confession, and leave you to tell Mr.

He felt more miserable as he went out into the garden.
"No fighting;" and he gave Dexter a grim look of satisfaction, which had more kindness in it than any the boy had yet seen. "Here, you let me get at him!" cried Bob. "No, no, you sit still," said Dan'l, holding him back with one hand. The task was very easy.
"You don't need to ask what's in the bag?" suggested Dexter. "What is in the bag?" ask Hilton hoarsely. "The slipper of the Prophet, sir!" was the reply. I felt dazed, as a man must feel who has just heard the death sentence pronounced upon him. Hilton seemed to have become incapable of speech or action; and in silence we stood watching Carneta tending the unconscious man.
Look here, sir; I've tried very hard to make you a decent boy by kindness, but it does no good. You were told not to associate with that boy any more." "Please, sir, I didn't," cried Dexter. "I didn't, indeed, sir." "What? Why, I saw you talking to him, and giving him fruit." "Please, sir, I couldn't help it. I didn't 'sociate with him; he would come and 'sociate with me."
Dexter ran to the river, and, without a moment's hesitation, plunged in his new cap, and brought it back, streaming and dripping, with as much water as he could scoop up.
