Fabian, who has been standing near him, lost in a daydream, starts perceptibly at his tone, and moves as though he would go towards the door. Then, though still a little absent, and still wrapt in the dream from which he has sought to free himself, he looks round the room as though in search of something.

And I did not deceive you by any false story, Fabian. I told you all even thing how basely I had been deceived and you soothed and consoled me, and told me that, as I had not sinned intentionally, I had not sinned at all; and you brought me with you to the State capital, and established me comfortably there." "But you were very ungrateful, my dear. You took everything; gave nothing."

Fabian this as a mere item of news, expressing no opinion and taking no responsibility, but leaving her uncle to act as he might think proper. She could not tell her brother Sylvan of that secret interview, for she was sure that he would act with haste and indiscretion. Nor could she tell her Uncle Clarence, who would only find himself distressed and incapable under the emergency.

Fabian, and he repeated the same word several times, each time appearing better satisfied, and certainly the thoughts that occupied his mind must have afforded him great pleasure, for he not only forgot the trouble that awaited his return home, but also the question, which in truth should have been the first one why the Butler had not stopped the thief and rescued the booty.

"I don't believe it. He's got no love for Belloc." The girl felt like saying, "He's got no love for you," but she refrained. She knew that Fabian had love for his father, but he had inherited a love for business, and that would overwhelm all other feelings. She therefore said: "Why don't you get Carnac to come in? He's got more sense than Fabian and he isn't married!"

One year the crops were sold before they were reaped, horses and cattle went little by little, then came mortgage, and still Henri never wavered, never weakened, in spite of the Cure and all others. The brothers were always together, and never from first to last did Henri lose his temper, or openly lament that ruin was coming surely on them. What money Fabian wanted he got.

Keir Hardie defending his "new school" Christianity against the young bloods of the Fabian Society, though it might necessitate the interference of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty. But we do not wish to part from Mr. Keir Hardie in a spirit of sarcasm.

The nephew's money was a continual remorse to me, and I resolved to get rid of it." "Of the money?" "Not so." "And you despatched the uncle as well?" cried Pepe. Cuchillo assented. "From that time my conscience had but little to reproach me with. I had gained three hundred dollars by the most ingenious integrity." Cuchillo was yet smiling, when Fabian exclaimed

As he finished these words, Pedro Diaz tightened his horse's girths, and prepared to depart. "One word more!" cried Fabian, "has Cuchillo long possessed this grey horse, which, as you may be aware, has a habit of stumbling?" "More than two years, from what I have heard."

Lord Boteler hastily commanded a small party of his men to abide for the defence of the ladies, while he himself, Fitzallen, and the rest made what speed they could towards the thicket, guided by Gregory, who for that purpose was mounted behind Fabian.
