"I meant, Cheriton agreed with me, I'm sure.... But, Hilary those statuettes you can't really.... They're mid-Victorian, and positively offensive!" His voice rose shrilly. They had been so horrible, Diana and Actæon. He couldn't forget them, in their podgy sentimentality. "And and that chalice ..." he shuddered over it "and " "That'll do, thanks," Hilary broke in.

Or Lactantius, or Victorinus, Optatus, Hilary, not to speak of the living, and Greeks innumerable? And this, Moses himself, that most faithful servant of God, first did, of whom it is written, that 'he was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians." Let us for a moment pause and see of what these treasures of Egypt consisted, and especially what Plato taught concerning God.

Do tell me. Oh, how quick and clever you are! I am sure you do not like her. I believe you can read people's characters at a glance." Hilary sniffed, a would-be modest, yet well-pleased sniff, which seemed to say that though it would not become her to endorse Joan's opinion of her talents, truth would not permit her to deny it.

"Well," answered Austen, "you might call them a new kind of caterpillar only they feed on corporations instead of trees." Euphrasia shook her head vigorously. "Go 'long," she exclaimed. "When you talk like that I never can follow you, Austen. If Hilary has any worries, I guess he brought 'em on himself. I never knew him to fail."

Hilary." He laughed, and concluded earnestly, "You must know that I can't talk with you on any such authority. I couldn't talk with Mr. Wade himself." "No, no; of course not," Matt assented; and he took himself off crestfallen, ashamed of his own short-sightedness. There was only one way out of the trouble, and now he blamed himself for not having tried to take that way at the outset.

He came straight forward. The last light of the day shone on his smooth brown face, with its steady eyes and strong mouth. "Yes," he said, and still through his quiet tones she seemed to hear a faint echo of the subdued twang which dwellers in the Far West sometimes acquire. "I, John Merrivale, late of California, beg to render to you, Hilary St.

I think they are not perhaps realized even by the eminent men in the law." "Humph!" said the Honourable Hilary. But he did not press his son for the enumeration of these customs. After all the years he had disapproved of Austen's deeds it seemed strange indeed to be called to account by the prodigal for his own.

He might even be supposed to have some interest in getting him out of the way." "Oh, I don't think any such suspicion can attach itself to such a man as Mr. Hilary," said Wade, with a certain resentment of the suggestion even from the man's son. "In a commercial civilization like ours any sort of suspicion can attach to any sort of man in a case like this," said Matt.

"I shall wear a kilt," said Hilary Vance solemnly. "The winds of heaven playing round my legs would assist healing nature; and I must be in complete accord with the country." "A kilt wouldn't be a bad idea," said Mr. James.

This was done pretty slick, wasn't it? Hilary got back from New York day before yesterday, and Pardriff has the editorial to-day. Say, I always told you Pardriff wasn't a reformer, didn't I?" Mr. Crewe looked pained. "I prefer to believe the best of people until I know the worst," he said. "I did not think Mr. Pardriff capable of ingratitude." What Mr. Crewe meant by this remark is enigmatical.
