It was a pretty sight, and so intent were most of the party on their occupations that they never saw the pair on the bank till Joe, the idler, started and rolled round with "Hollo!" when all turned, it may be feared with muttered growls from some of the boys; but Carey herself gave a cry of joy, ran down the bank like a girl, and greeted Mary Ogilvie with an eager embrace.
But the penal laws embraced many other objects; and, as their intent was evidently to debase the people and reduce it to a state of actual slavery and want, other civil rights were equally invaded by their tyrannical provisions. A portion of the population in all countries devotes itself to the intellectual pursuits necessary for the life of every cultivated nation.
Madame Gilbert, though to the unobservant eye intent upon her tea and cakes, saw every one who came and went. Many officers were in the restaurant, but one only attracted her special notice. He was a young handsome man in the field-service kit of the French Army, and upon his sleeves and cap were the wings of the Flying Corps.
The woman did not reply at once. She seemed intent upon gathering her showy skirts out of the dust. When she spoke, her voice trembled on the verge of a laugh. "That so?

"I am," replied the painter, seemingly intent upon his employment. "Do your parents reside there?" resumed the other, with rising emphasis. "Parents!" exclaimed Colonna, with a keen glance at the inquisitive governor; "I have none! They are dead!" "Who and what was your father?" demanded Barozzo imperiously. This inquiry and its peremptory tone exhausted the patience of Colonna.

As he came down that old road with his nose in Reddy's tracks, he was so intent on what he was doing that he didn't see Farmer Brown's boy waiting for him.
