'Tis a sight I never miss, I would have thee share its glory with me." "But art thou then indifferent to woman's tenderness?" asked Theos half banteringly, as he took his arm "Dost thou love no one?"
You will no doubt be given an opportunity to testify as fully as you wish. That is all, sir, unless Mr. Tutt has some more questions." Tutt waved the witness from the stand contemptuously.

That well-known habit is his panoply, That Cross the only weapon he will wield; By day he bears it for his staff afield, By night it is the pillow of his bed.
