"Dear Aunt Abby," and Elliott spoke very gently, "don't you talk about it any more. Your vagaries are tolerated by us, who love you, but Mr. Stone is bored by them " "Not at all," said Fleming Stone; "on the contrary, I'm deeply interested. Tell me all about it, Miss Ames. Where have you been?" Thus encouraged, Aunt Abby told all.
"Peace, sirrah! meddle with your loom," said Henry; "and if we deign to speak to thee concerning the mechanical arts which thou dost profess, take it for no warrant to intrude farther on our privacy." The Fleming retired, rebuked, and in silence; and the fate of the unhappy prisoners remained in the King's bosom.
I should not have gone if Miss Fleming had been able to do my work. Maggie has evidently been put in my charge. Not to go any higher than Uncle John and Allan, I think when they demand her of me, they will say 'Where is thy sister? not 'Where is thy servant maid, or thy sewing maid. But I must be sure of myself.
It is especially in its first division, the stories of Vivian Grey, The Young Duke, Contarini Fleming, Alroy, Venetia, and Henrietta Temple, published between 1827 and 1837. They are more like Bulwer's than like anybody else's work, but Vivian Grey appeared in the same year with Falkland and before Pelham.
Jamaica Ginger's hatchet found it a good fifty yards from the others. Within an hour it had been dragged out of the dirt and brought aboard. We sailed the same afternoon about twelve hours later than the schooner, which had quietly slipped past us on its way to the sea in the faint light of early dawn. That Fleming had given up the attempt to win the treasure was plain.
The fight was continuing, when Colonel Parsons saw that a force of about three hundred Dervishes had worked round the back of the hill, with the intention of falling upon the baggage. He at once sent one of the Arab sheiks to warn Captain Fleming; who, from his position, was unable to see the approaching foe.
A man still felt himself a Hollander, a Frisian, a Fleming, a Brabantine in the first place; but the community of language and customs, and still more the strong political influence which for nearly a century had been exercised by the Burgundian dynasty, which had united most of these low countries under its sway, had cemented a feeling of solidarity which did not even halt at the linguistic frontier in Belgium.
It is a sturdy, manly dialect, moreover, spoken by a fine, upstanding race of "chaps," "fellows," "mates," "wives," and "women-persons," for your Fleming rarely talks of "men" or "women." It is also a very beautiful dialect, having many words that possess a charm all their own.
"When we're all through, honey," Ritter told her. "Yes. When he brought home that revolver, it was in neglected condition," Rand said. "Either surface-rusted, or filthy with gummed oil and dirt. Even if Mrs. Fleming hadn't mentioned that point, the length of time he spent cleaning it would justify such an inference.
Stone," I confessed, "I am not antagonistic, but I do know a little about Miss Van Allen's movements that I haven't told. I cannot see that it would assist you in any way to know it " "That's enough," and Fleming Stone spoke heartily. "Your assurance of that is sufficient. Now, are we working together?" I hesitated. Then I suddenly thought of Ruth Schuyler.
