In his hands, you know, it would soon be a hundred and fifty thousand; that is to say, practically speaking, it would be half the estate." "Certainly," bowed Coronado, meanwhile thinking, "You old ass!" "And my little cousin is of your opinion, I trust?" he added. "Well not quite as yet," candidly admitted Aunt Maria. "But she is coming to it. I have no sort of doubt that she will end there."
It is conceivable that this feeble and harmless white coccus may at some time have been accelerated under favorable circumstances to where he was endowed with "yellow" powers, and even, upon another turn of the screw, with strepto-virulence. But this is a mere academic question. Practically the only thing needful is to keep all the rascals out of every wound.
Fran remained silent, moved more than she could have thought possible. He stared intently, but under that preposterous hat, she was practically invisible, save as a black shadow. He asked again, with growing impatience, "What do you want?" His unfriendliness gave her the spur she needed. "I want a home," she said decidedly. Hamilton Gregory was seriously disturbed.
Thank the good God for that! Kapus had never saved enough to give her a marriage-portion either, and had she been ugly, or only moderately pretty, it would have been practically impossible to find a husband for her.

"Mm," said Bensington, regarding his fingers with more resignation than he had hitherto displayed. "Practically the thing must come out. People will hear of this child, connect it up with our hens and things, and the whole thing will come round to my wife.... How she will take it I haven't the remotest idea." "It is difficult," said Mr. Bensington, "to form any plan certainly."
THAT was at the bottom of her mind, that their equilibrium was everything, and that it was practically precarious, a matter of a hair's breadth for the loss of the balance. It was the equilibrium, or at all events her conscious fear about it, that had brought her heart into her mouth; and the same fear was, on either side, in the silent look she and Amerigo had exchanged.
