Matilda read these words, with a quick remembrance of the time when she had read them in the company of her two little schoolmates, and the discussion that had ensued thereupon; curious what their reception would be now. It was stormy. "The idea!" said Mrs. Bartholomew. "That would make a finish of society at once," said Mrs. Laval. "But what do the words mean?" asked Mrs. Lloyd. "There they are.
A moment later came Bert Lloyd, pale but determined, with Teter and Frank on either side of him, Frank wearing an expression that said as plainly as possible: "Whip my friend Bert, if you dare." It is neither necessary nor expedient to go into the details of the fight, which did not last very long.
Burgoyne laughed, came to a full stop, and reddened a little as she went back busily to her sewing. "Why do you let me run on at such a rate; you know my hobbies now!" she reproached them. "I am not quite sane on the subject of what ought to be done and isn't in that good old institution called woman's sphere." "That sounds vaguely familiar," said Mrs. Lloyd. "Woman's sphere?
She had caught the North German Lloyd boat at Cherbourg two days after receiving the cablegram from New York. Mrs. Blake had insisted on coming along in spite of her niece's protests.

"Honest" John Hogan was a young red-headed regular deputy sheriff, who was a participant in the outrage on the City Dock on November 5th. "Honest" John Hogan claimed to have seen the defendant, Thomas Tracy, firing a revolver from one of the forward cabin windows.
"That would be much the best way, for she is so timid and quiet you couldn't keep her from being a wall-flowah at an ordinary pah'ty.

Usually the choir practice was a bore to Lloyd.
Pierce to arrange for me an interview with Miss Lloyd, but the elder lady seemed doubtful. "I'm quite sure she won't see you," she said, "for she has declared she will see no one until after the funeral. But if you want me to ask her anything for you, I will do so."
The agent of the Austrian Lloyd Steamship Company came to our rescue on the following morning, as the Albanian boat made no preparations for starting, and offered to take us in his own boat to Dulcigno. This we gladly accepted, and about midday started in his large and roomy boat, built for sailing or for rowing, and manned by four Montenegrin sailors.
