"I suppose they counted on depriving our lands of water by destroying our dam?"

Despite all her magnificence and the absence of any gaucherie in her movements when off the stage, all natural grace disappeared the moment she attempted to be somebody else. Her delivery was unnatural and pompous; her motions were stiff, strained, ridiculous.

And besides this, Vernon had been so accustomed to the success of the drawing-room, to be a somebody and a something in the company of wits and princes, that he felt, for the first time, a sense of insignificance in this provincial circle.

"Now, father has been telling you that," exclaimed Caddy, looking confused, "and I don't thank him for it either; I hear of that everywhere I go even the Burtons know of it." Mr. Walters now looked round the room, as though he missed some one, and finally exclaimed, "Where is Charlie? I thought I missed somebody where is my boy?"

"Why, Maggie Duff, I want to help people, of course," almost wept Miss Flora. Well, then, suppose you try and give so it will help them, then," said Miss Maggie.
