"Now, as you're here, just let me show you one or two things." "Oh!" breathed the Major, "have pity. It's not any canvas woman that I want By Jove!"
Man's mastery of the process by which this startling and wonderful change is effected has come as one of the rewards of his long and patient study. The Fourdrinier machine, which preserves at least the name of the enterprising developers of the invention, takes up the work that was formerly done by the molder.
For Rops, though he had an undeniable partiality for subjects in which ugly and prurient women displayed themselves in nothing but the inessentials of costume, was a classic before whom it was necessary to bow the head in homage. G.J. was in this room in company with a young and handsome Staff officer, Lieutenant Molder, home on convalescent leave from Suvla Bay. Mr.
G.J. murmured to Molder: "You don't want to go and have tea with her, do you?" And Molder answered, with the somewhat fatuous, self-conscious grin that no amount of intelligence can keep out of the face of a good-looking fellow who knows that he has made an impression: "Well, I don't know " G.J. raised his eyebrows again, but with indulgence, and winked at Craive.
"Who knows? The Swami may be the molder of your destiny," said Madeline gaily, with youth's lightness in referring to the vague future. "He may; but I'd lay long odds against it." "I must be going."

"Sorry, dear heart," said G.J. "I'm engaged with Molder to-night. We shall have some private chamber-music at my rooms just for ourselves. You ought to come. Much better for your health." "What time will the din be over?"
