Fan! she never would run in my ribbons. He positively declined to persue. Lord Levellier would not attempt to follow her up without him, as it would have cost money, and he wanted all that he could spare for his telescopes and experiments. Who, then, was the gentleman who stopped the chariot, with his three mounted attendants, on the road to the sea, on the heath by the great Punch-Bowl?
It was the morning of another day when Bhanavar awoke; and she awoke in a dream of Zoora, the mare of Zurvan her betrothed, that was dead, and the name of Zoora was on her tongue as she started up. She was on a couch of silk and leopard-skins; at her feet a fair young girl with a fan of pheasant feathers.
Its most remarkable feature, however, was its beautiful crest, which it raised like a fan over its head, or depressed at the back of its neck. The feathers of the crest were long, and barred with crimson, gold, yellow, and white, which added greatly to its beauty. The bird was between thirteen and sixteen inches in length.
"O, sir!" she exclaimed, "tell me something I don't know! Yes! But I'm married to a man who waits for things to explain themselves." "Or till they're past all explanation, Fan." "Yes, sir; yes! But more! I'm married to a man who knows that nothing can explain conduct but conduct. That's the kind of explanation you still owe me, Pop, till you pay it to John March."
Near the prow, appeared a column of smoke, of expanding gases of yellowish and fulminating steam and, coming up through its center in the form of a fan, a spout of black objects, broken wood, bits of metallic plates and flaming ropes turning to ashes. Ulysses was no longer in doubt. They must have just been struck by a torpedo. His anxious look scanned the waters.
Fan got up and went to the next room, where her supper and a lighted lamp were on the centre table. Rosie followed her. "Can you tell the truth?" she said. "Yes," returned Fan. "Well, then, have you told Miss Starbrow?" "No." "Did she ask you anything?" "Yes, and I didn't tell her." "Oh, how very kind!" said Rosie; and giving her a box on the ear, ran out of the room.
With heroic self-control, he set himself to meet her problems, even going so far as to encourage her spirit of independence and to help her build air-castles that at present were her only refuge from despair. "Just think of all the wonderful things I can do if I succeed," she said. "Papa Claude need never take another pupil, and Myrna can go to college, and Cass and Fan Loomis can get married."
Instead of wandering on down the Amazons until she reached some sulphurous tropical port, where one had to lie within doors all day beating off insects with a fan, the sensible thing to do surely was to spend the season with them in their villa by the seaside, where among other advantages Mrs.
Your lamented father was dead and she had not yet contracted her second marriage." "If she was intending to marry again, it was all the more reason she should have been careful." I looked at her a moment; she met my eyes gravely, over the top of her fan. "Are you very careful?" I said. She dropped her fan with a certain violence. "Ah, yes, you are impertinent!" "Ah no," I said.
I took and gave it a little squeeze and, oh poor soul, it felt so cold in mine!" When Mrs. Lecount's master made his appearance at two o'clock, he stood alarmingly in need of an anodyne application from Mrs. Lecount's green fan.
