"Dov' e mai quel core amante," she murmured in Italian, as la Tinti began the delightful aria of the stretto in which she implores pity for her grief. "But what is the matter?

"Well, but," said Edward, "do you mean to say that in the present day " "Mai dearr sirr. Mankind niver changes. Whativer the muscles of man can do in the light, the mind and conscience of man will consent to do in the dark." Julia said never a word. Mrs. Dodd, too, was for action not for talk. She bade them all a hasty adieu, and went on her good work.
"I have no wish to prolong this conversation," said the girl, "but there is one thing I should like to say, and that is that I would prefer you to call me Miss White." "All right, all right," said Silva genially, "and what were you doing at the flat to-night, Mai Miss White?" "Good night," said the girl and closed the door in his face.
But I thought of what my feelings would be if it were the Devonshire coast, somewhere about Sidmouth, and no landing! However, they, as well as the three Nengonese, Wadrokala, Harper Malo, and Martin Tahia, went on contentedly. 'Off Mai, May 19th. Mr. Kerr has been busy taking bearings, &c., for the purpose of improving our MS. chart, and constructing a new one.

Well, go on into the next room, and you will see I've done something to the picture since you saw it, though it's not finished yet.

Now, Dr. Sampson was himself afflicted with what I shall venture to call a mental ailment; to wit, a furious intolerance of other men's opinions; he had not even patience to hear them. "Mai dear mad'm," said he hastily, "when you've told me their names, that's enough.
Among the most faithful was her 'Aunt Mai', her father's sister, who from the earliest days had stood beside her, who had helped her to escape from the thraldom of family life, who had been with her at Scutari, and who now acted almost the part of a mother to her, watching over her with infinite care in all the movements and uncertainties which her state of health involved.
