It is a noble sheet of water, of a hundred and sixty feet perpendicular fall; but I looked at it through the window of a factory, and as I did not like that, I was obligingly handed to the door-way of a sawing-mill; in short, "the great water privilege" has been so ingeniously taken advantage of, that no point can be found where its voice and its movement are not mixed and confounded with those of the "admirable machinery of this flourishing city."
Then he turned the paper over slowly. "Do you recognize it?" persisted the policeman. "Mebbe," said Driggs. "I guess you can leave it here. But, in case any question should come up about it in the future, suppose you write your autograph on the handle of the chisel."

But it has worn gray, Monsieur Vautrin," cried Madame Poiret. "What have you to say to that?" asked the judge of the prisoner. "That she is mad," replied Jacques Collin. "Bless me!
There was a Babel of talk as the little girls were finding their wraps, mingled with pleasant outbursts of laughter. Mr. Dean was to take some of the small people home, and Jim obligingly offered his escort. It had not been so very babyish. Ben wrapped his little sister up "head and ears," and ran home with her. How the stars sparkled! "It's been just splendid!" she said to her mother.
This speech made Lady Alicia blush very becomingly, and the Countess looked at her sharply. “Where have you been, Alicia?” “The room was rather warm, mamma, and——” “In short, madam,” interrupted Mr Beveridge, rising and bowing, “your charming daughter wished to study a lunatic at close quarters. I am mad, and I obligingly raved.
