An amused smile dimpled her mouth as her hasty glance showed her that they were all of the same girl, evidently kodak shots he had taken himself. Probably that was the girl and these were the letters that Keith had teased him about at the picnic. Neither spoke, and he reddened uncomfortably at her amused smile, as he put them back into his pocket.
"And which way are you all going now?" asked Keith. The others had joined them, and the seven ponies were standing in a ring in the middle of the road, their noses almost touching. "We're going down to your house," answered Joyce, "to bid your Grandmother MacIntyre and Miss Allison good-bye. They have been so good to us all the time we have been here.
I then told him that we had never spoken to one another, and that he had not seen enough of me to recollect my features now. "I had the honour," I added, "to dine with your excellency at M. de Mocenigo's house, but you talked all the time with Marshal Keith, the Prussian ambassador, and I was not fortunate enough to attract your attention.

Keith possessed sufficient means for several months of idleness, and even if he had not, his reputation as a plains scout would insure him employment at any of the more important scattered army posts. Reliable men for such service were in demand.
"Make yourself comfortable." "I only make myself miserable." Jenny felt her hair, which was loosened. Her cheeks were hot. "Are you sorry you came?" "Yes." Keith pressed closer to her, stifling her breath. She saw his brown cheeks for an instant before she was again enveloped in his strong embrace; and then she heard a single word breathed in her ear. "Liar!" said Keith.
Easy.... What happens when a man sells somethin' he hain't got?" "He has to get it some place." "If he can't get it, what?" "Makes it expensive for him." "Thought so. Figgered that way.... Nobody to interfere. Crane and Keith left orders to sell. They won't be takin' notice. Got 'em worried some place else. Mighty worried." Scattergood recounted the story of Plumm's farm. Mr.
It happened on this day that Nan Keith had refused an invitation to ride with Ben Sansome, but had agreed as a compromise to give him a cup of tea late in the afternoon.
