Below was the silver Thames in best autumn livery, for the leaf was not yet off the willows, though the reed-beds were bright russet. The sky was blue, the sun bright, and the sound of the weir came gaily up through the trees. All the wood-paths were bright with moss, the air still, and an endless shower of leaves from the oaks was falling over the whole hundred acres.
Good Heavens! Lady Winsleigh will cry for sheer spite and vexation!" Philip laughed. "I hope not," he said. "I should think it would need immense force to draw a tear from her ladyship's cold bright eyes." "She used to like you awfully, Phil!" said Lorimer. "You were a great favorite of hers." "All men are her favorites with the exception of one her husband!" observed Errington gaily.
He walked all the way to Garth and back again. Over nine miles!" And Mr. James would look gratified. Tea was over with the sacrifice of the pink and white cake. Miss Kendal took your arm again and led you, gaily, gaily back to the old man. "Here's Miss Mary come to talk to you, Father." She set a chair for you beside him. He turned his head slowly to you, waking out of his doze.
He was followed by a young woman who was laughing merrily, as if much amused by the persistence of the downpour. By way of jesting, indeed, she expressed her regret that she had not come to the Bois on her bicycle, whereupon her companion retorted that to drive about in a deluge appeared to him the height of idiocy. "But we were bound to go somewhere, my dear fellow," she gaily answered.

Father Fourcade, who had remained in the midst of the throng, leaning on Doctor Bonamy's arm, and gaily encouraging the more stricken of the sufferers, beckoned to Berthaud and said to him: "Finish taking them out of the train; you will be able to clear the platform afterwards!"
"For the present," she answered, "it occupies the whole of my time, and the whole of my thoughts." "To the utter exclusion, I suppose," he remarked, "of me?" She laughed gaily. "My dear Cecil! when have I ever led you to suppose for a moment that I have ever wasted any time thinking of you?" He was determined not to be annoyed, and he ignored both the speech and the laugh.
Each coolie carries one thing, and as they are all paid the same without regard to the weight carried, of course there is great competition for the light packages. It is odd to see one man stagger under a trunk while another trots gaily off with a cushion or a kodak.
"Is there any superstition," said he gaily, "that makes you think, as some of the ancients did, the left hand luckier than the right?" "Yes," replied Aram; "a superstition. Adieu." The Student departed; Madeline slowly walked up one of the garden alleys, and thither Walter, after whispering to his uncle, followed her.
