MOOR. 'Tis not a murmur. At all the coffee-houses, billiard-tables, hotels, and public walks in the market-place, at the Exchange, they proclaim aloud FIESCO. What? I command thee! That you are a fool! FIESCO. Well, take this sequin for these tidings. Now have I put on a fool's cap that these Genoese may have wherewith to rack their wits.
"Wait, I'll go with you. You are as white as if you'd seen a ghost!" But before he could join her she had disappeared into mysterious regions where he dared not follow. During the course of that Christmas night, there was one member of the Sequin household who failed to thrill with the holiday spirit, and whose depression steadily increased as the evening wore on.
Fabris, who had been as angry as myself, observed to me that the perpetrator of the joke evidently felt his guilt, because he took good care not to discover himself. But I unveiled the mystery by promising one sequin to a peasant woman if she could find out who had sawn the plank. She contrived to discover the young man who had done the work.
The Genie's witticisms came whenever anyone rubbed the lamp, which each person was requested to do, as he or she approached.

He found Noah's calm, impersonal point of view a relief after the skeptical, disapproving attitude of the older attorney. During these days Donald spent as little time as possible at Angora Heights. The family skeletons that had always lurked in the Sequin closets, seemed to revel in their commodious new quarters.

Why don't you sell your bank stock, and make some better paying investments on your own hook?" "Why, I thought the bank stock " began Donald, but Mr. Sequin wheeled upon him impatiently.

"I won't wear it all tacked up!" cried Connie on the verge of tears; "I'll go home first " "No, you won't," said Miss Lady; "this is your first grown-up party and you've been counting on it for weeks.
