"Do you mean to say that you and Rogers went away and left this stranger here by himself?" "The servants' dining-room is right at the end of the hall, sir. We left the door open so that we could see right along the hall, clear to the front door. If he'd come out into the hall, we'd have seen him." "And he didn't come out into the hall while you were there?" "No, sir." "Did anybody come in?"
'I am a stranger here, answered the young king, 'and very poor. I have come to beg for some work. 'We have everybody we want, said the queen, when the servant told her the young man's reply. 'We have a gate-keeper, and a hall porter, and servants of all sorts in the palace; the only person we have not got is a goose-boy.
"Had I such a stroke on me I'd I'd think I was parralyzed," the stranger added. "You'd better fix it then," said Allen. "Thou art wise, good man," said the stranger. "Mind the two hands on the clock an' keep them to their pace or they'll beckon thee to poverty." The clock was brought to the door-step and all gathered about him as he went to work.
"You must be a stranger in this country," the man evaded. "What is your name?" But the stranger didn't seem to hear, and just then we came opposite the residence of the Bishop, and the man we had picked up in the road said, "That is my home, won't you get out and warm? My wife will be glad to get acquainted with you ladies."
The society is good, and to a stranger of genteel appearance, perfectly accessible either with or without introduction. The cathedral of Aix is an immense edifice; the architecture is the oldest Gothic, and has all the strength, the substance, and I was going to add, all the tastelessness which characterizes that Order.
"I should think that's rather a useful gift for an amateur detective. You ought to have gone into the profession before." "Well, it is rather useful. It's rather surprising, you know, to a stranger. Let's surprise Cayley with it, shall we?" "How?" "Well, let's ask him " Antony stopped and looked at Bill comically, "let's ask him what he's going to do with the key of the office."
Though I never spoke of it before, I cannot believe, Madam, that you are not acquainted with my passion, or that you do not know it to be the greatest and most sincere that ever was; what trials has it suffered in things you are a stranger to? What trials have you put it to by your rigour?"
The stranger drew a deep breath as she disappeared, and turned back to the office greatly oppressed by all that he saw. The clerk was leaning back in his chair, drumming with his fingers upon the seat. Inured to an atmosphere of misery, he felt but little of the painful compassion, the mingled horror and pity which almost overwhelmed that benevolent man.
This party has given him in custody on another charge." There was a loud scream, and Mrs. Harris fell into the arms of the stranger, who had taken her aside to whisper to her. "She is my wife," said he to Mr. Dryce. "I am the person to whom you wrote, and I have brought the remittance with me from Australia."
"After all, though," he reminded her, "a clever writer does not always make a great speaker, nor has he always that personality and distinction which is required in this case.
