On my side, they have been healed by time; and I trust it is the same with you. Will it pain you too much to hear something disparaging to the memory of your deceased husband?" Mrs. Fitzgerald colored very deeply, and remained silent. "Nothing but an imperious necessity would induce me to say what I am about to say," continued Mrs.
It is this type of man, too, who rarely shares his own. It would be rather graceless to say that after drinking the cocktail Fitzgerald resumed his aforetime rosal lenses. He was naturally at heart an optimist, as are all men of action. And so the admiral, who had begun to look upon him with puzzled commiseration, came to the conclusion that the young man's liver had resumed its normal functions.
Fitzgerald," he said, "have you left the attractions of Collins Street for the still greater ones of Clubland?" "Not I," answered Brian. "I've come to carry you off to afternoon tea with Madge and myself." "I don't mind," answered Mr. Frettlby rising; "but, isn't afternoon tea at half-past one rather an anomaly?" "What's in a name?" said Fitzgerald, absently, as they left the room.
"Colonel's getting to be quite an archaeologist," Fitzgerald commented. "We're all learning each others' specialties, on this expedition." "I heard about that long before this expedition was even contemplated." Penrose was tapping a cigarette on his gold case. "I heard about that back before the Thirty Days' War, at Intelligence School, when I was a lieutenant.
Moor was FitzGerald's Woodbridge lawyer, and no doubt he and other friends of FitzGerald thought that the affairs of the partnership of FitzGerald and Fletcher were not carried on with such precision as was desirable.

A week or so later Drouet strolled into Fitzgerald and Moy's spruce in dress and manner. " Hello, Charley," said Hurstwood, looking out from his office door. Drouet strolled over and looked in upon the manger at his desk. " When do you go out on the road again?" he inquired.
I well remember his telling me in 1868 that his first famous patient was the mysterious "Pamela," who became the wife of the Irish patriot, Lord Edward FitzGerald. Every one who went about in London in the 'seventies will remember the dyed locks and crimson velvet waistcoat of William, fifth Earl Bathurst, who was born in 1791 and died in 1878.
