Carter turned wrathfully from the horse to follow Carrick back to the shed where the big car had been housed. With ready sympathy the two young Krovitzers followed. "It is dastardly," Paul remarked as he bent over and discovered that not a particle of the motive mechanism had been left intact. "Count on me, sir," Casimir volunteered, "to help you ferret out the rascals.
Not only every reed and rush of the salt marshes, every uncertain aspen-leaf of the few trees, but every particle of the October air shows a shadow and makes a mystery of the light. There is nothing but shadow and sun; colour is absorbed and the landscape is reduced to a shining simplicity. Thus is the dominant sun sufficient for his day.
And her instinct must have told her that in him, Claude Heath, there was some particle of greatness. He loved her just then for that. "Oh and good-night, Mr. Heath." Claude's cheeks burned as if Paul Lane had laid a whip across them. Again, as when he first entered it that night, he looked at the big room. How had he ever been able to think it cosy, home-like?

It makes not a particle of difference whether these crimes are committed by a capitalist or by a laborer, by a leading banker or manufacturer or railroad man, or by a leading representative of a labor union.
They have not a particle of respect of manner, as we understand it, but seem very docile. They are naive and fascinating in their manners, and the most joyous children I ever saw. When they are not at their lessons, or household occupations, they are dancing on stilts, acting plays of their own invention, riding or bathing, and they laugh all day long. Mrs.
