"I easily opened it, and entered the apartment. It was so dark that at first I could distinguish nothing. I stopped short, disagreeably affected by that disagreeable, musty odor of closed, unoccupied rooms.
"Aha!" said Wingfold, as he entered and cast his eyes around, "there is no room for surprise that you should have found me out so easily, Mr. Polwarth! Here you have a legion of detectives for such rascals."
We say that youth easily consoles itself for the robberies of the grave, middle age is a still better self-comforter. When Mrs. Elton found herself installed in the cottage, she looked round, and burst into tears. "And William is not here!" she said. "Friends friends! if we had had but one such friend before he died!"
Some of the crew tried other expedients, saying that that looked too much like West India negroes; but they all came to it at last. The great art is in getting them on the head. We had to take them from the ground, and as they were often very heavy, and as wide as the arms could stretch, and were easily taken by the wind, we used to have some trouble with them.
"What news?" said Saint-Aignan. "About La Valliere." The king started, and advanced his head. "What has happened to La Valliere?" inquired Saint-Aignan, in a tone which can easily be imagined. "Ah! poor girl! she is going to take the veil." "The veil!" exclaimed Saint-Aignan.

The ancient bed of the river may still be traced, and in floods the Colorado still sends a part of its overflowing supply into its old channel, and for a time waters a portion of the desert. It is believed that the river might easily be turned back into its original course, and indeed nature herself seems to be now tending, by various spontaneous processes, to accomplish that object.
See? It's the lie of wisdom, and it's a very subtle thing, and easily abused. If a man uses it for a selfish cause and merely to pervert the truth, it's a black lie, and one of the very worst.
