When I used to be a country clergyman, I remember how, when I went to the funeral of some simple rustic, I was filled with surprise to see the tall, strapping, fine young country lads, arrayed in their black suits. What awkward figures they looked in those unwonted garments! How different from their easy, natural appearance in their every-day fustian!
"I would have awakened you before now, only Miss Jones would not let me. Lillian and Eleanor have been waiting for you in their bathing suits for a long while. Do let's have a salt water plunge before breakfast." Springing from her berth, Madge made a dash for her bathing suit, which she had laid out the night before.
He would offer her the shelter of his roof as though she were a queen who might choose among her various palaces. "Mary," he said, "we hope that you will stay with us altogether." "To live with you, do you mean?" "Certainly to live with us." "I have no right to expect such an offer as that." "But every right to accept it, my dear, when it is made. That is if it suits you."

"I know it," curtly "any old time or place. Now, if it suits you." To Bruce's amazement Harrah took his hand and shook it joyfully. "I wouldn't be surprised if you could! You look as hard as nails.
"Tannhauser" is to be produced at Berlin in December. How far have you got with the "Valkyrie?" I am looking forward to our meeting in November. The Princess and the Child are still in Paris. They study carefully the exhibition of pictures, and see a good deal of Scheffer, Delacroix, and other artistic notabilities, which suits them exactly.
Our people can't stick this for more than three or four hours." "How have you been getting on?" inquired Sophy, "and how do you like Burma?" "Burma suits me down to the ground; I like it most awfully. I've been very busy learning my job, but I've seen a good deal outside business hours." "What have you seen?"
I traveled nearly all the time, and much of the time I was in an unconscious state. I started from home with two suits of clothes which I pawned for whisky after my money was all gone. I arrived at Knightstown one day without coat, vest or hat. I was also barefooted.
She rang the bell for aid, then kneeled, and took his throbbing temples to her wifely bosom. Wheeler picked himself up, and, seated on his hams, eyed the pair with concentrated fury. "Aha!
