Oscar continued his search for some minutes, but without success; and he finally concluded to make his supper of bread and butter, since he could find nothing more tempting to his appetite.

"We spear them by torchlight," he said. "Oscar is a pretty good hand at it now." "You live well, Master Hendrick," remarked Trench, raising a bark flagon to his lips and tossing off a pint of venison soup, with the memory of pots of ale strong upon him. "Do you ever have a scarcity of food?" "Never; for the country, as you have seen, swarms with game.

The Service is merely the tool of the people on the Projects. "Oscar, it's up to you and me. In antagonizing you farmers, I've opened the way for the enemies of the Service to reach you. And you, in being reached, are endangering the Service. Is it true that you are going to help Saradokis and Fleckenstein get your honest debts repudiated?"

"I have not forgotten the tall man who died; it is not well for him to go unburied. You are not a Catholic no?" "You need not tell me how or anything about it but you are sure he is quite dead?" "He is dead; he was a bad man, and died very terribly," said Oscar, and he took off his hat and drew his sleeve across his forehead. "I will tell you just how it was.

I certainly don't mean to insult Miss Raymond, but I wonder at her taste in choosing my father's hired boy to walk with." "I am not responsible to you for my choice, Oscar Norton," said Annie Raymond, with dignity. "If my escort is poorly dressed, it is not his fault, nor do I think the less of him for it." "If your father would dress me better, I should be very glad of it," said Joe.

Spenser took Sol out to his country place in the mountains, Oscar complained, 'where he has boats and plenty of fishing. I know I could have caught a lot of trout. It is just what I can do. But that stupid Sol, if he looked at a trout, he probably frightened it away. "It was just so all along through life. Oscar could not find exactly the place he was fitted for.

"They are getting ahead with their work. It won't be long till that dam is finished. Then they'll take the water from us, that's certain." But here Big Oscar received an inspiration. He had been listening carefully, casting mildly inquiring blue eyes on the speakers. He was a good listener, was Oscar, and he seldom spoke.

We can pay for them by not being Oscar Wilde. Well, I left the fairy tales lying on the floor of the nursery, and I have not found any books so sensible since. I left the nurse guardian of tradition and democracy, and I have not found any modern type so sanely radical or so sanely conservative.
