"You shall have full time," said Earnscliff; "I plight my faith and troth, my hand and my glove." "Wait there a moment, then," said Westburnflat; "or hear ye, I wad rather ye wad fa' back a pistol-shot from the door. It's no that I mistrust your word, Earnscliff; but it's best to be sure."
What are they talking about?" demanded Nan, as Mrs. Scattergood apparently came to a full stop. A pause ensued while Sally and Mrs, Scattergood exchanged glances with Mrs. Morrell. "Well," at last said Sally, judicially, buttoning her glove, her head on one side, "if I had a nice husband like yours, I wouldn't let him run around getting himself disliked for nothing."
She was thinking of Jimmy, and the days when he rode old Judas barebacked round the paddock. The stranger was looking at Christine interestedly; he glanced down at her left hand, from which she had removed the glove; he was surprised to see that she wore a wedding ring. Surely she could not be married that child! He looked again at the mourning she wore; perhaps her husband was dead.
As soon as they were ascending a hill, and he could find time to free his hand, he pulled off his glove, and drawing from his pocket a programme of the Melchester concert referred to, contemplated therein the name of one of the intended performers. The name was that of Mr. C. Julian.

How lucky we had met; he had not thought of me till this very moment. It was fate. Would I write tonight? By this time I was as eager as himself.
He learned to pace around in a circle, lifting each forefoot with a sway of the body and a pawing movement which was quite rhythmical. He learned to box with his nose. He learned to walk sedately behind Reddy and to pick up a glove, dropped apparently by accident.
"Therre's one thing I'm glad of," said Archer, "and that's that I thought about putting that Gerrman soldierr's paperrs in the glove. I've got a hunch I'd like to know what that letterr says." "I'm glad you did," said Tom. "I got to admit I didn't think of it." By evening Tom's knee was much better though still sore, and his head pained not at all.
Claude tried to reiterate that he could not possibly get away, but something in the expression of her eyes made him feel that to do so just then would be to play the child, or, worse, the fool to this woman of the world. As she got into her motor she said: "A note on Sunday. Don't forget!" The machine purred. He saw a hand in a white glove carelessly waved. She was gone.
Over that stairway, nevertheless, the troubadours, Pierre Ronsard and Clement Marot, used to go up and down, humming their lays or touching their viols; and through that door De Lorge returned in glory, after leaping down into the lions' den to rescue his lady's glove.
