"What's the idee?" "Mr. Ewell had some money with us that he wished transferred to you, in case anything happened to him. I guess you know what happened." Then reflectively, "Jim was a queer one." "You mean The Spider wanted me to have this?" "Yes. That slip of paper represents just twenty-four thousand dollars in currency. If you'll just endorse it " "But it ain't my money!" said Pete.
There was a half reluctant admiration in Prince Shan's eyes as he sat back in the dim recesses of his box and scrutinised his visitor. La Belle Nita had learnt all that Paris and London could teach her. "You are very beautiful, Nita," he said. "Many men tell me so," she answered. "Life has gone well with you since we met last?" he asked reflectively. "The months have passed," she replied.
"For instance," he went on reflectively, "here's a letter from a Constant Reader who asks, 'Is this Professor Craig Kennedy really all that you say he is, and, if so, how can I find out about his new scientific detective method?" He paused and tipped back his chair. "Now, I don't want to file these letters in the waste basket. When people write letters to a newspaper, it means something.
"My goodness me, Nance! what a freak he is," and Jennie burst into laughter at the remembrance of Scorch O'Brien. "John and I took him to luncheon and John couldn't eat for laughing at him." "I think Scorch is real nice," said Nancy, smiling reflectively. "Oh, he's strong for you, all right," admitted Jennie, nodding. "He thinks you are about the only girl who ever came into his sweet young life "
"No, ma'am," said he, "there is fancy teas of that kind, but you'd have to send to Philadelphia or New York for them." "How long would that take?" she asked. "I reckon it would be four or five days before you'd get it, ma'am," said the storekeeper. "I am afraid," said Miss Annie, looking reflectively along the counter, "that that would be too long." And then she turned to go, but suddenly stopped.
This room, even in broad daylight, was dim, and it grew dark there early. It was still light in the wider streets of the city, but in this room a candle was burning on the corner of a table, beside which a man sat. He had pushed back the remains of a meal, and his fingers played reflectively with the tankard which the landlord had replenished a few moments before.
La Fleur gazed reflectively upon the ground. "I never thought of it before," she said, "but Miss Cicely would make a very good wife for a gentleman like Mr. Haverley. But that's neither here nor there, and none of our business, Michael. But if you hear anything more about this marriage between Mr. Haverley and Miss Bannister, I wish you'd come and tell me.
That's the curse of men living alone on these homesteads brooding, and worrying their heads off. It seems to get them all eventually in " Breaking off abruptly he glanced at his watch. "Getting late!" he ejaculated, jumping up, "I must be getting on to that case." "Docthor!" said Slavin, reflectively, "'tis a shtrange story ye've been tellin' us.
"And what was the message, my girl?" I asked, patting her pretty head with my hand. "Now, let me remember it all," she said, reflectively; "for he told it to me twice. He asked me if there was a good bedroom at the top of the house, standing by itself and you know there is, so I told him so; it was exactly the kind of room that he described.
My estate in France is not great, but it is ten thousand crowns at least, and I think the ransom not excessive. François, I repeat, must be succored. Your Highness's ever faithful Gaston Cheverny. Count Saxe looked at me reflectively, after I had read the letter. "Of course, she must be succored. Ten thousand crowns is a large sum for some purposes; not large to pay as ransom for a lady."
