Young hearts have their unfathomable depths, and after what had happened, likely enough he did not care about staying on with Barbro as a neighbour. Who could say? He had put it loftily enough in talking to his mother; he could get a better position in town than the one he had; could go as clerk to one of the higher officials. He must get on, he must rise in the world.
"I rather fear it was, Arthur." "You mean that you went because you did not like to displease us by staying away?" "Something like it," said Bertram, affecting to laugh. "I do not want your mother and sisters, or you either, to regard me as an ogre. In England, at any rate in the country in England, one is an ogre if one doesn't go to church.
"I don't think I shall let you go back to the Grange at all. They don't treat you decently, you know not even for royalties," he went on. "Oh, it wouldn't do not to go back at any rate for to-night though, of course, there's no point in my staying longer, since the princess isn't there," said Miss Lambart.
Admitted we can't take time for a long string of test-shots, and admitted we have to use an untested weapon; I'm not sending men out under those circumstances and staying here on this ship and watch them blow themselves up.

We have no town house, so I was staying at the Carlton alone. Yet how stupidly compromising circumstances can occasionally become! I returned to Beechcroft.
Is it really worth troubling over? I'm only a girl, and, as such, am allowed vagaries of nerves and all that. I simply didn't want to come, that's all." "Why?" "Well, to tell you the truth, I hate the crowd we have staying in our house. They are all mother's friends; and mother's friends are never mine, you know." He looked at her slim figure, so charming in its daintiness.
Farr caught him at the door, restraining him with a heavy hand. "You stay here, don't you let that baby die. By the gods, she sha'n't die!" "My staying will do no good, my friend. The little girl is death-struck already. It's quick work with the children. Sometimes we can bring the grown folks through.
He stooped down and fished up a kodak. "A little more in the light, if you please, Mr. Courage. Thank you! That will do! Now side-face." I was snap-shotted twice before I knew where I was. Then Mr. Magg drew a sheet of paper towards him, and began to make notes. "You are staying?" he asked. "Waldorf-Astoria," I answered.
