"Him, back in there," replied Flea, casting her head backward in the direction of the library. "You mean Mr. Shellington?" "Yep!" Everett burst into a loud laugh. At the sound, Horace stepped to his study-door and looked out. His face darkened as he discerned Flea standing against the wall and Brimbecomb looking down at her.

"But I can give you an instance of a practical bull that is not only indisputably English, but was made by one of the greatest men that England ever produced, Sir Isaac Newton, who, after he had made a large hole in his study-door for his cat to creep through, made a small hole beside it for the kitten. You will acknowledge, sir, that this is a good practical bull."

For a few minutes, as the disconcerted and terrified youngsters stood in a small band at Parson's study-door and watched Mr Parrett slowly retreat down the passage, it seemed as if the final crisis in the career of every one present had arrived. It would have been bad enough to be caught in the midst of a simple free fight and sent up to the doctor. But the case was far more terrible than that!

Having the profoundest distrust of Madame, I was naturally extremely jealous of the confidential interviews in which deceit and malice might make their representations plausibly and without answer. 'Yes, I'll run down and see see papa; she shan't tell lies behind my back, horrid woman! At the study-door I knocked, and forthwith entered.

The servant disappeared, and the poet stood in the little, narrow corridor, smilingly looking to the study-door, and waiting for the "gates of wisdom" to open and let the worldling enter the temple of philosophy. The crooked little man, the great philosopher, Moses, son of Mendelssohn, stood behind the door, turning over in his mind whether he would receive Goethe or not.

Prout could move very silently if he pleased, though that is no merit in a boy's eyes. He had flung open the study-door without knocking another sin and looked at them suspiciously. "Very sorry, indeed, I am to see you frowsting in your studies." "We've been out ever since dinner, sir," said. McTurk wearily.

The gates were at last opened; he went to his rooms, and for some time his key would not turn in the door, the lock having been meddled with. At length he succeeded in entering, and found everything in confusion, his bed tossed and tumbled, his study-door open, and his clothes strewed about the floor.

He bowed, and left the room with Monsieur Pascal. "So the long-expected letter is come at last," observed Monsieur Pascal, as the study-door closed upon himself and his friend. "Read it," said Toussaint, putting the letter into the secretary's hand, and walking up and down the room, till his friend spoke again. "We hear," said Monsieur Pascal, "that the First Consul understands men.

When the servant opened the study-door, Miss Euphemia was again alone. Thaddeus recoiled, but he could not retreat. "Come in, Mr. Constantine," cried the little beauty, in a languid tone; "my sister is going to the riding-school with Mr. Lascelles. Miss Beaufort wanted me to drive out with her and my mother, but I preferred waiting for you."

And her heart was set at rest; and Janet sang at her work again, and cheered or chid the bairns according as they needed, but never more, though she had many cares, and troubles not a few, did the giant hold her in his grasp again. "Miss Graeme," said Janet, softly opening the study-door, and looking in. Graeme was at her side in a moment.
