He turned to Archelaus, who had followed him into the office in a state of suppressed excitement. "It is certainly addressed to me; and yet It must be half-a-dozen years, Archelaus, since anyone sent me a parcel from the mainland."
"Caste plays such fantastic tricks in this country," said Dr. Latimer. "I tell Mr. Leroy," said Miss Delany, "that when he returns he must put a label on himself, saying, 'I am a colored man, to prevent annoyance." On the following Friday evening, Mr.
But the conception of the born criminal is also only a label which is superficially used for a great variety of minds.

Jonas' drawling, nasal, high-pitched sarcasm reached Mazarine's ears and stung him. He lurched round, and with beady eyes blinking with malice, said roughly: "The fool is known by his folly." "You don't need to label yourself, Mr.
As yet he has not lost head, any head he ever had: but he is wonderful, he; and his England is! We shall have to look at him once again; and happily once only.
