"Then, I suppose," said I, "that, as a stranger, I have not permission to intrude upon them?" "Shall I inquire?" answered the marquise.

With an elaborate "Excuse me," Slim arose, but re-seated himself in another chair directly in the pathway of Polly's broom. "Get out of there, too," she cried. "Shucks, there ain't any room for me nowhere," he muttered disgustedly. "You shouldn't take up so much of it."

She re-seated herself on a settee which stood near, and took her handkerchief to wipe out some wrinkles of anxiety from her stout face. Beatrice stared in astonishment.

Ducie, the mother of a lad in my regiment, who was wounded at the same time as Giles, and whom she nursed with him." "Is not it very trying?" "Nothing that is a kindness ever is trying to Emily," he said, and his voice did tremble this time. Kate had quietly re-seated herself in her chair.

Your cousin, Gerald, is again on a political campaign, being sanguine in the prospect of being re-seated in Parliament the next session. I am watching the event as one which concerns us deeply.
