The lettuce and stewed pears had disappeared like magic, and but one piece of the veal and two rolls remained. They arose from the table and were about to leave, when Fritz took the piece of veal upon his fork and ate it. "What is the use of leaving it when one has an appetite for it?" he said. "Then as none of the veal is left we may as well eat the rolls," said Franz.
Are you sure he will find his way back to this place?" "Quite sure. This tree will guide him. He arranged it so before leaving." "In that case, there's not any reason for your remaining. On the contrary. I can see that you need a better bed than sleeping among these sage-plants. I know one who will give it. Come with me, caballero?
And what might be called the sullen irritability of Fakredeen was encountered with the usual gentleness and total disregard of self which always distinguished the behaviour of Lord Montacute.

She wished before leaving the neighbourhood to visit her father's grave once more. When she came out of the forest the village clock struck seven, and before she arrived at the graveyard it was nearly dark; but she was not afraid, and went up to her father's grave, where she sat down and gave way to a burst of grief.
We travelled down Zamia Creek. The bed of the creek, though lined with many casuarinas, was entirely dry, and we did not reach a water-hole until we had travelled a distance of nine miles from the camp. Hoping that the supply of water would increase, I travelled on ward, leaving Mount Nicholson about six miles to the left.
On leaving Violante's room, Lady Lansmere paused before the door of Helen's; and, after musing a little while, entered softly. Helen had dismissed her maid; and, at the moment Lady Lansmere entered, she was kneeling at the foot of the bed, her hands clasped before her face.
