So far from having had the smallest disagreement, there is every prospect of our agreeing but too well, as you will say; for I find that he holds all my opinions upon speculative subjects. We have had a great deal of conversation this evening, I assure you; and I never met, I think, so scholarlike and able a man." "I am sorry for it, dearest," she said, sadly.

"If you only were," smiling at him a little sadly, I thought "I'd keep you out of all sorts of mischief." "Quite true, Duke," said her husband, "just look at me." The Duke gazed at him a moment or two. "Wonderful!" he murmured, "what a deliverance!" "Nonsense!" broke in Lady Charlotte. "You are turning my mind away from my purpose." "Is it possible, do you think?" said The Duke to her husband.

Finally: "You have selected a curious moment to retire, Chief Inspector," said the Assistant Commissioner. "Your prospects were never better. No doubt you have considered the question of your pension?" "I know what I'm giving up, sir," replied Kerry. The Assistant Commissioner slowly revolved in his chair and gazed sadly at the speaker.

I sadly fear that he is given over to a hard heart, and a perverse mind one predestinated, to evil from his birth. Ah me! Have I not done, and am I not still doing everything to restrain him and save him! But precept, admonition, and punishment, all seem, thrown away. Even my daily prayers for him remain unanswered. They rise no higher than my head. What more can I do than I am now doing?

Jondo had said that Father Josef had somewhere back a strain of Indian blood in his veins. It must have been this that gave the fiber of self control to his countenance as he looked with pitying eyes at Jondo and Eloise St. Vrain. "The hour is struck," he said, sadly. "And you shall hear your record, point by point, because you ask it now.

"And whither can she go?" asked Euryale, sadly and with tearful eyes, for there was no gainsaying so definite an order from her lord and master. "The moment she is missed, they will search her father's house; and, if she takes advantage of Berenike's ship, it will soon be discovered that it was your brother's wife who helped her to escape from Caracalla."

Oh, how deeply wretched she felt, though she strove all in her power to seem unmoved while in the presence of her children! Anxious to know the worst, she soon retired, as has been seen, from the parlours, and went up to the chamber above. Alas! how sadly were her worst fears realized!

She shook her head, sighed and made answer: "We were divorced." Then the old man thought to be consoling. "Well, let us hope that you won't marry him over ag'in." "No, his heart is black." "There is a fountain where it may be made white," said the preacher. Sadly she smiled at him and replied: "To that fountain he would never go." Old Jasper jingled and clanked the iron of his harness.

He has been sadly mixed up with that wretched man who destroyed himself. And now, when Henrietta has written to him without my sanction, in opposition to my express commands, he takes no notice of her. She, very properly, sent him back a present that he made her, and no doubt he has resented her doing so. I trust that his resentment may be continued.

"I hope I am!" said Miss Fane, in rather a serious tone. "I wish I could also he mistaken in my suspicions of the mode in which Albert spends his time. He is sadly changed. For the first month that we were here he seemed to prefer nothing in the world to our society, and now I was nearly saying that we had not seen him for one single evening these three weeks.
