But when they were gone he sat alone upon the porch, brooding over the day and all it had held of trouble and perplexity. Evadna appeared tentatively in the open door, stood there for a minute or two waiting for some overture upon his part, gave him a chilly good-night when she realized he was not even thinking of her, and left him.
Seeing that all the dishes, plates, and bottles they have grow in the form of gourds, they imagine all such things we use also grow. It was amusing to hear them ask for seeds of the glass medicine bottles I carried with me. A drum, ingeniously made by stretching a serpent's skin over a large calabash, was monotonously beaten as our good-night lullaby when we stretched ourselves out on the grass.
He was anxious to maintain the appearance of bland lightness before Betty. Karen had re-entered as they spoke and Betty called her to them. "Tell me, Karen dear, is Madame von Marwitz ill? She didn't give me a chance to say good-night to her." Betty had the air of wishing to exonerate herself. "She isn't ill," said Karen, whose face was grave. "But very tired."
Norcross, but if you git over this they generally do an' want some good, straight clairvoyant work done, write Mme. Rosalie Le Grange, care the Spirit Truth Bulletin, an' I'll recommend you to them that are strangers to graft. Good-night."
One more kiss, and then good-night!" They walked side by side until they stood upon the threshold. Eugene put his arm around her waist, and kissed her fair brow. "Look," said she, "at yonder star that is just emerging from a fleecy cloud. It soars joyously upward now, and shall be to us an omen of hope and happiness. Farewell."
I declare I am as glad to have met with you to-night, and exchanged this intercourse of opinions, as if anybody had counted me out a bag o' gold." "Well, good-night, Roy," concluded Tynn, turning his steps towards Verner's Pride. "I wish I had been a hundred miles off, I know, before I had heard it." Roy slipped over the gate; and there, out of sight, he executed a kind of triumphant dance.
My poor children, I am sorry for you; you are burdened for life. Good-night, good-night! You will see me again to-morrow." The great dinner-gong sounded through the house, and Aunt Jane sailed away from the day-nursery. "Fortune, who is she?" asked Iris, raising a pair of almost frightened eyes to the old nurse's face. "She is your father's sister, my darling," said Fortune.

Good-night." They parted, and Mary and her brother turned away to their own home. If it had not been for the presence of the curate, Mary would have said a good deal on the way home.
Christophe found her standing on a stool, and he saw that she had no intention of moving all evening. He felt a furious desire to knock her over with her piles of plates: but he restrained himself and asked her to go and see how her mistress was and if he could say good-night to her.
Newton was surprised at the appearance of a little girl; and, as he took her proffered hand, inquired her name. "Amber. Papa says it's a very foolish name; don't you, papa?" "Yes, my dear, I do; but now we are going to dinner, and you must go to Mrs Smith: so good-night." Amber kissed the old lawyer, as he stooped to her; and wishing the company good-night, she left the room.
