In the courtyard of her residence, all the servants, gathered in a group, were talking. They did not take the trouble to stand aside to let her pass; and she even noticed some smiles and ironical gigglings. This was a terrible blow to her. What was the matter? What had they heard? In the magnificent vestibule, a man was sitting as she came in.

Sentiments that usually bring in mention of the entertained youth's mother and sisters, and wind up with allusions to a wife, which if he doesn't possess now, he may some day. Once I stopped with Mame while she and Irene phoned a “fellaof Irene's from a drug-store telephone booth. Such gigglings and goings on, especially since thefellawas unknown to Mame at the time.

"All right," said Wyatt. "Tell them that I shall be going anyhow. I should be glad of a little company." The school turned in on the Thursday night in a restless, excited way. There were mysterious whisperings and gigglings. Groups kept forming in corners apart, to disperse casually and innocently on the approach of some person in authority. An air of expectancy permeated each of the houses.

It was not the beauty of face or form that was the most attractive to me in young gentlemen, or ladies, but that of the mind.

I see young ladies, and gentlemen, who entertain each other with their silly jokes and gigglings that are disgusting.

Tully said with controlled quietness. "She hurt herself on that dive. Go in after her, you men." But Graham and Bert and Dick, meeting under water, gleefully grinned and squeezed hands.

Sometimes not often there was still the crackling hum of a stun-pistol. There were many more exuberant shoutings. They apparently had to do with loot. There were some squealings in female voices, but many more gigglings.

"And what does your father say about it," was Dally's next question. There was a long pause broken only by some gigglings by the irrepressibles down at the bottom of the class. "I have not asked him," Keith admitted at last. "But I am going to be an explorer just the same." "In these days that means you have to become a scientist," Dally remarked in a changed tone.

Yes, as now I look back at things, I remember that I felt greatly depressed, despite the absurd gigglings of the egregious Blanche. "What is the matter with you? How dull you are!" she cried at length as she interrupted her laughter to take me seriously to task. "Come, come!

Some of the stiffness that had characterised the former meal had vanished Morgan could see now that had been due to shyness at his presence and, though Mark still showed little willingness to converse, the girls were evidently beginning to find themselves again, occasional gigglings heralding their return to normality.

The whole conversation, carried on in low tones, had passed under cover of noisy mirth, snatches of song, banter, and gigglings; nobody paid heed to the two men talking in a corner.
