Then he remembered what the miser had said about Rex reminding him somewhat of Maurice Darley and thought perhaps he might be glad to see him on this account. It was cooler than it had been the previous day.
He is a man of petty moods, and I have repeatedly had letters from Consul Williams requesting me to write to Aguinaldo a friendly letter congratulating him on his success, and reminding him of his obligations. I do not care to quote Admiral Dewey, as his letters are all of a strictly personal nature, but I feel perfectly free to refer you to him as to my attitude and actions." Mr.
De Stancy had promised to be back again in half-an-hour, and Paula had heard the promise. But at the end of twenty minutes, still seeming indifferent to what was going on around her, she said she would stay no longer, and reminding Somerset that they were soon to meet and talk over the rebuilding, drove off with her aunt to Stancy Castle.
"I've told her over and over again, sir," was the reply, "and all she says is she's not afraid of you, nor six like you." The captain fell back silent, and Mr. Tasker, pausing in a respectful attitude, watched him wistfully.

The next day Ben Buffum stayed at home, and did not show himself on the street till evening. When he found that no one spoke to him of the affair he took courage to go to school the day after.
Dismiss the whole lazy pack of indoor servants to-morrow, except Porcher. She is as strong as a horse and we'll make her work like a horse."

A month's wages saves a month's waste and gluttony in the servants' hall."

"If this man Milbank I still can't place him is such a thug, or whatever it is that he happens to be, how did he come to be at your house the night you say I met him?" Bailey winced. He wished the world was not perpetually reminding him that Basil and Sybil were on speaking terms. "Sybil invited him. I may say he has asked Sybil to make one of the yacht party. I absolutely forbade it."
