It was funny," she added irrelevantly, "but the more worn out we were at night, the more we'd want a little excitement, and we used to go to the dance-halls and keep going until we were ready to drop." She laughed at the recollection. "There was a floorwalker who never let me alone the whole time I was at Pratt's he put me in mind of a pallbearer.
Oh, grandma was reading about it in Blank's Magazine the other day, and grandpa said that's the way all children's Homes ought to be carried out. Then the boys and girls would be happier and grow up into better men and women. That's what I think, too." "We take Blank's Magazine," said the lame girl irrelevantly. "Here comes Aunt Pen.
My secret ambition regarding her," I said, critically observing the strong knobby profile, "is that within the next five years she should marry some nice youngster with means to place her in a setting befitting her intelligence and beauty." "Have you got any one in your eye now?" he irrelevantly inquired.
"It was not necessary for him to explain further. I remembered the negro for whom Hal-loway had ridden through the storm that night. "I asked Halloway somewhat irrelevantly, if he carried a pistol. He said no, he had never done so. "'Fact is, I 'm afraid of killin' somebody. And I don't want to do that, I know.
And now I find myself driven into a corner by another woman, of whose existence I had never thought until this day. And and then," mused Mr. Audley, rather irrelevantly, "there's Alicia, too; she's another nuisance. She'd like me to marry her I know; and she'll make me do it, I dare say, before she's done with me.

"The new pastor of Saint Marks told me," said Mr. Drury, irrelevantly, "that they would be wanting some new roofing for the barn they're turning into a community house.
She'd kill any one that got ahead of her, that woman would! And yet she'll come into my room and cry and cry, and say: 'Don't take him away from me! Leave him to me! Ugh! It makes me sick." She stamped her foot, then added, irrelevantly: "She wears a wig, too. I suppose that old fool of a judge thinks it's her own hair." The lawyer sat in stony silence.
Success is certain. Will you honor me by drinking to it?" We drank solemnly. "I thought you were wearing a dark-green scarf," I interrupted, somewhat irrelevantly, speaking to Indiman. "I am," he replied. "It is red," I insisted. "Not green at all." "Nonsense!" said Indiman, and thereupon Mr. Colman Hoyt burst into a cackle of laughter. "Complementary colors," he said.
Suddenly the long singing drone of a steamer's signal came across the city from the river, once, twice, thrice; and presently the sparrows began their twittering in the bushes near the verandah, an unexpected unanimous bird talk that died as suddenly and as irrelevantly away.
Her publishers were to give her a dinner last night, I believe." Margaret Edes started. "I had not seen that," she said. Then she added in a queer brooding fashion, "That book of hers had an enormous sale. I suppose her publishers feel that they owe it to her to give her a good time in New York. Then, too, it will advertise Hearts Astray." "Did you like the book?" asked Annie rather irrelevantly.
