"It confirms some observations of my own. There is a spice of vanity in Lucien." "He is a poet," said d'Arthez. "But do you grudge me such a very natural feeling?" asked Lucien. "We should bear in mind that he did not hide it," said Leon Giraud; "he is still open with us; but I am afraid that he may come to feel shy of us." "And why?" Lucien asked.
He didn't like this secret signal from the missing James and he liked less the fact that the lad's messenger had been a small Indian. However, this seemed a small matter to what was awaiting him, as Mr. Ford came toward him, walking rapidly, and, apparently, in deep thought. "Lem, do you think you can run San Leon without me for a few days?"
Well; Leon was determined to be a swimmer, and at each attempt he made a wider stretch into the deep water, swam around, and then back again to the bank.
I suppose it'll wind up in Tip being locked up with Leon, and eventually going to the Reform School." "Few people will be sorry," observed Hugh, although he felt a twinge when his mind reverted to the mothers of the two boys. "I wonder what Nick thinks of it all," mused Thad.
Wellington kept up their illusions by feints at several points, while he prepared to thrust a mighty force over the fords of the Tormes and Esla. He completely succeeded.

Cieza de Leon, one of the most careful of the early chroniclers , says that at Coropuna "the devil" talks "more freely" than usual.
