You always got on well with Julia, when you came to see us in the holidays. Oh, my darling! my darling! What shall I do without you?" All that longed for love in Emily's nature had clung round her school-friend since her father's death. Turning deadly pale under the struggle to control herself, she made the effort and bore the pain of it without letting a cry or a tear escape her.
"Excepting good Doctor Allday " On the point of adding the name of Alban Morris, she checked herself without knowing why, and substituted the name of her school-friend. "And not forgetting Cecilia," she resumed, "I know nobody." "Cecilia's a fool," Francine remarked gravely; "but now I think of it, she may be worth cultivating.
The ladies exchanged a glance of intelligence, and the princess said decidedly: "You will not go to the City of the Dead to-morrow, my little son!" "That we will see, my little mother!" He answered laughing; then he turned grave. "I saw my school-friend Anana too," he said. "Injustice reigns in the House of Seti!

"I'm too busy to keep up with the latest fads in cures as Eugenia does. You may meet her there this summer, by the way. She usually spends a part of the summer with us. She is a very old school-friend of mine." "French or Vermont incarnation?" inquired Marsh casually. "May I smoke? Won't you have a cigarette, yourself?" "Oh, French!"

Professor Surd was at a faculty meeting. Would I wait? Yes, till all was blue, if need be. Miss Abbie? Abscissa had gone to Wheelborough to visit a school-friend. The aged maiden hoped I would make myself comfortable, and departed to the unknown haunts which knew Jocasta's daily walk. Comfortable!

At this the school-friend, in utter fury, dashed the glass into a thousand pieces against the wall, ran out of the house like one possessed, and never showed his face across the threshold again."

"If I were a bachelor, I should play the part of the uncle," said the Captain; "as it is, I'll ask Gustav to do it. The boy must see something of life, or he'll go wrong. Hot stuff these Wennerstroems, what?" "Yes," said the Professor, "I was a man at fifteen, but I had a school-friend who was never confirmed because he was a father at thirteen." "Look at Gustav!
