He is dead now he threw himself into the river this summer, with a curse on his lips I am afraid a curse against you. A few years ago he lived happily with his wife and child in a little house on the Grade Suburban, and he had several thousand dollars as a result of careful saving and systematic self-denial. "Perhaps you have never thought of the responsibilities of a great name.
Executives. "Executive" is a large, loose word which rolls smoothly off the tongue of far too many business men to-day. Office boys begin to think in terms of it before they are out of knee trousers. "I could hold down the job," said a youngster who had hurt his hand and whose business was to carry a bag of mail from a suburban factory into New York, "if I could get some one to carry the bag."
I walked round the corner, saw the City and Suburban Bank abutted on our friend's premises, and felt that I had solved my problem. When you drove home after the concert I called upon Scotland Yard and upon the chairman of the bank directors, with the result that you have seen." "And how could you tell that they would make their attempt to-night?" I asked.
Why Captain Renfrew had selected him as a secretary and companion Peter could not fancy. The magnificence of his surroundings revived his late dream of a honeymoon with Cissie.

No man who lives in the neighborhood of the city, or in any little settlement, community, hamlet, thorp, village, or town which is occupied with people doing business in the city, but is exposed in his rural retirement, in his suburban home, to the ravages of improvement. There are suburban neighborhoods of New York which are said to be subject to malaria, to fever and ague.
"Why should they who had done all the fighting have none of the loot?" So they won over the Belgian engine-drivers delighted to see this quarrel between the hyenas and held up the trains in the suburban stations north of Brussels. There were pitched battles which ended always in the soldiers' victory.
Prothero coloured brightly. "She lives in London." "All the year?" "All the year." "But isn't it dreadfully hot in town in the summer?" Prothero had an uncomfortable sense of being very red in the face. This kept him red. "We're suburban people," he said. "But I thought isn't there the seaside?" "My mother has a business," said Prothero, redder than ever. "O-oh!" said Lady Marayne.
