"You looked as if you were having such a nice time, I thought I'd like to come." "Well, we were," said Kilian, with a laugh, and then we drove on rapidly. At the tea-table Mr. Langenau said to Sophie as he rose to go away: "Mrs. Hollenbeck, if there is any service I can render you this evening at the piano, I shall be very glad if you will let me know." Mrs.
"Does he know anything about a boat?" he asked of Richard, who had paused in the doorway, hearing what was said. "I have no idea," said Richard, shortly, but he did not go away. "It isn't the sail-boat that he has, of course," said Kilian, thoughtfully. "He always goes out to row, I believe."
I went to put Charley in College for her." "I can't think of Charley as a young man." "Yes, Charley is a strapping fellow, within two inches of my height." "Impossible! And where is Benny?" "At school here in town. His mother will not let him go to boarding-school. He is a nice boy: I think there's more in him than Charley." "And I hear Kilian is married!" "Yes.
Everybody wanted to stay, and everybody tried to be quite firm; but as no one's firmness but mine was based on inclination, the result was that Sophie and I were "remainder," and Mary Leighton, Charlotte, and Henrietta drove away with Kilian quite jauntily, at half-past seven o'clock.

How should I know whether he were still so ill or no. The hour for starting had arrived. Richard, who never kept long out of sight of me, was busy loading the wagon that was to accompany us, with baskets of things to eat, and with wines and fruits. Kilian was engrossed in arranging the seats and cushions in the two carriages which had just driven to the door.
I had never seen Kilian, and the meeting filled me with apprehension; my uncle, however, sent up one of his clerks in the carriage to take me to the boat, and put me in charge of this young gentleman. This considerate action on the part of my uncle seemed to fill up the measure of my surprises.
Kilian, learning this and fearing an ambuscade, staid away; but the people of the abbacy appeared before the deputies of the cantons with a petition, which showed that they knew how to carry out the doctrine of the unscriptural character of spiritual lordship to a further extent than was pleasant even to Zurich herself.
