That gentleman was at the moment talking to Constance. "Mr. Carleton " said Mrs. Evelyn, "are you a judge, sir?" "Of what, Mrs. Evelyn? I beg your pardon." The lady's tone somewhat lowered. "Are you a judge of roses, Mr.
He looks savage enough to eat you up, and is really as tame as tame can be." "Hi, Teddie! she's got yuh throwed, tied, an' branded, all right!" shouted one of the other punchers.

"Don't you think you'd better wait and cool down?" inquired Jack, dryly. "You're only making a show of yourself."

You must use no pressure to persuade Miss Osborn to marry Mr. Thorn." "I am not likely to do so," Osborn remarked, dryly. He paused and his face got red as he struggled with his deep-rooted dislike for Kit. "You have taken a very generous line, Mr. Askew," he resumed.

"Yes; I was afraid you would be displeased," he went on, good-humoredly; "but I hope you won't mind so much when I tell you about it. I couldn't really go into it in my letter.
