"They seem to be riding away to a world of dreams," said the little lady in black. Mr. Bat Brydges and Senator Moyese walked slowly and reflectively past the Range Cabin towards the charred burn and timber slash of O'Finnigan's abandoned homestead. "It's that damned rant the old fellow let off in the court room," said Brydges. "Rant doesn't win elections, Brydges! It has to be fought out!

I do not wish to be disrespectful, but I cannot endure her presence." "Send who away?" "Mrs. Oswald Carey." "She amuses me, child. Her great beauty is delightful to gaze at." King George put a lozenge into his mouth and sighed reflectively. He was a victim to asthma. The east winds of Boston cut him to the bone. "Do not compel me, your Majesty, to be more explicit.

"My news is not the worst, as you seem to anticipate; although, perhaps, it might have been better," the officer began. "In fact, I am fairly well pleased with the result of my day's work." "Which means, I take it, that you have discovered a clew." Lablache's heavy eyes gleamed. "Rather more than a clew," Horrocks went on reflectively. "My information relates more to the man than to the beasts.

'One ought so to order one's life that every moment in it should be of significance, Arkady affirmed reflectively. 'I dare say! What's of significance is sweet, however mistaken; one could make up one's mind to what's insignificant even. But pettiness, pettiness, that's what's insufferable. 'Pettiness doesn't exist for a man so long as he refuses to recognise it.

Yet he must have at one time basked in her baleful presence. "Do you like Warts?" I asked her one day bluntly. "Yes," said Sarah Walker with cheerful directness; "ain't HE got a lot of 'em? though he used to have more. But," she added reflectively, "do you know the little Ilsey boy?" I was compelled to admit my ignorance.

He frowned a little as he ran his finger reflectively down Felicia's sleeve. "But she's bothered. She has think-lines in her forehead. I felt 'em." "You have a think-line in your own forehead," said Felicia, promptly kissing it away. "Don't you bother." "Where's Ken?" Kirk demanded. "In the window-seat." Thither Kirk went, a tumble of expectancy, one hand before him and his head back.

"The human heart, Renny," said the man in the hammock reflectively, "is a remarkable organ, when you come to think of it. I presume, from your lack of interest, that you haven't given the subject much study, except, perhaps, in a physiological way. At the present moment it is to me the only theme worthy of a man's entire attention.

"Sure," he replied, dragging forth a bunch of metal discs on a strap. "Five pieces." "Good." Charlie nodded. His brother's unconsciousness amused him. Then, after a moment, his gaze drifted across the valley, and came to rest on the little home of the Setons, and he went on reflectively, "I need to get around a piece before dark," he said.

"But you and I didn't quarrel when we were engaged," persisted Upton. "No, we didn't, Henry," replied Mrs. Upton. "But that was only because it takes two to make a quarrel, and I loved you so much that I was really blind to all your possibilities as an irritant." "Oh!" said Henry, reflectively. "All is confounded, all! Reproach and everlasting shame Sits mocking in our plumes." Henry V.

She went to a German-Jewish bakery and lunch-room, and reflectively got down thin coffee served in a thick cup, a sugar-warted Kaffeekuche, and two crullers.

She was "through," like the little engaged girl.
