"It was my own fault for leaving the door open." I thought I saw the faintest possible quiver at the corner of his lips, but if so it was gone again at once. "Yes," he said gravely. "You will find it safer to keep the place locked up. Good-day, sir." "Good-day," I replied, and turning deliberately away from him I sauntered off towards the hut.

We shan't keep her long." "Keep her!" replied the general vigorously, wiping his large face with a large pocket handkerchief. "Keep her! If I were thirty years younger, you shouldn't keep her a day not a day, sir." The little girl looked up gravely from the corner of the seat, tossing her short, dark plait from her shoulder. "What would you do with her, papa?" she asked.

Ere he landed on his feet, he saw the white camp spread out before him and knew where he was and remembered all that had passed from the time he went for a stroll with Manuel to the hole he had dug for himself the night before. A shout from Francois hailed his appearance. "Wot I say?" the dog-driver cried to Perrault. "Dat Buck for sure learn queek as anyt'ing." Perrault nodded gravely.

And with a shrill laugh to point this sour-grape sentiment, and mark her disdain for Lucian, the fair Bella took herself and her lean form out of the room.

"Do you believe in ghosts, Ralph?" "No," I answered, "I do not.

Very gravely and quietly Henry Irving used to give up his place to me. I played once more at the Queen's after Katherine and Petruchio. It was in a little piece called "The Household Fairy," and I remember it chiefly through an accident which befell poor Jack Clayton through me.
