I shrank from Kenneth a little, but not much, for it was kind of him so kind and generous to suffer that awful cold for me. What surprised me was that he made no opposition to my resting in Phillip's arms, and Phillip did not seem to mind his drawing close to me. But Kenneth explained: "Mr. Rutley has told me you are already his wife, Minnie. Is that true?"

Kindly get back into the same position. If you get down again before I've finished Rutley will hold you over and you'll get a dozen." Lancelot got back on to the chair, and was re-arranged to the taste of his executioner. He stayed there somehow or other while Comus made eight accurate and agonisingly effective shots at the chalk line.

Get right down into the middle of the car, both of you, and keep quite still." We did as he told us, and as Kenneth joined me, we heard a faint cheer from above, and the message: "Safe on the top of the balloon!" "Look, Minnie, look!" cried Kenneth; and on a cloud-bank we saw the image of our balloon with a figure sitting on the summit, which could only be Phillip Rutley.

She remarked that it would have been possible here to take breakfast out of doors, and Henry rang and gave instructions to Rutley, the butler, and the next moment, as it seemed, they were at table on the lawn, with sparrows pecking at stray crumbs. Henry, asking permission to smoke, lighted a pipe. "I've only seen you with cigarettes before," she remarked.

In the prefects' room, Comus busied himself with the exact position of a chair planted out in the middle of the floor. "I think everything's ready," he said. Rutley glanced at the clock with the air of a Roman elegant in the Circus, languidly awaiting the introduction of an expected Christian to an expectant tiger. "The kid is due in two minutes," he said.

"Open it from your side," ordered the high-pitched voice of Lady Douglass. "The key is not here," answered Gertie. "It must be there. Why is the door locked?" "How should I know?" retorted the girl sharply. "You don't suppose I locked it, do you?" She heard Lady Douglass call for the useful Rutley; and when the butler came, there was a consultation outside.

People spoke of us as sweethearts, and Kenneth was so confident and persevering that when my mother died and I found myself without a relative, without a single friend that I really cared for, I did promise him that I would one day be his wife. But that had scarcely happened, when Phillip Rutley came to the village and and everybody knows I fell in love with him.

Where the surface was hard and dense, Brewster found the refractive index to approach that of semi opal. The wonderful thing is that a substance so full of cavities containing gas should nevertheless be transparent. By the kindness of Mr. F. Rutley, F.G.S., I am able to supply a drawing taken from one of my sections of tabasheer.

At the same moment the door behind me was pushed open, and Hagar, frightened out of her wits, peered in with a lamp in her hand. By its light I first saw Phillip Rutley.

Henry, watching their departure, missed an easy serve, and endured the reproaches of his partner. "Rutley, I want the key of the billiard-room. Rutley, get it at once." "I think I know where it was put last," said the butler. They went up the steps, and waited until Rutley came. Jim Langham called him a slow-coach, a tortoise, a stick-in-the-mud, and a few other names.
