"Monsieur talks lightly enough," continued Madame Lambert, "though that brigand has carried off my savings. But I gave them to monsieur, and monsieur is answerable to me for them; he is the only one I know in this transaction."

He does just what so many theologians have done about God, who, instead of taking what our Lord has given us, talk about God as "the Governor of the Universe." So a young man talks about his master as "the governor;" nay, he even talks of his own father in that way, and then you come in another region altogether, and a worse one. I take these things as symptoms, mind.

'You are not a modern young lady, Ursie, he would say; and he would often call me 'grandmother Ursula'; but all the same he would listen to my plans with the utmost tolerance and good nature. Ah, those talks in the twilight, before the fatal disease developed itself, and he lay in idle fashion on the couch with his arms under his head, while I sat on the footstool or on the rug in the firelight!

Edgar's the only one who looks undisturbed, and if he talks much going home, he'll get on my nerves." "It's hardly fair to blame him for a depression that's your fault," said Flora. "You deserve to feel it, since you will go away." Then Edgar came up with the wagon and George took Flora's hands. "I shall think of you often," he told her. "It will always be with pleasure.

"My mother has just told me that no decent man will marry me, because all the world knows that I stayed at the palace that night.

It seemed to her that, go where she would, she ran risks. The cynicism that is the result of sad experience was beginning to show itself in Jacqueline. "Oh, forgive me!" she said, feeling, contrite.

And keep your hands out of the light as much as you can. They're too white for this section of the country." "What if some one talks to me? I can't put over their lingo." "Just grunt. I'll do what talking is necessary. All right. We'll make tracks, boys." They stepped outside.

'He talks of coming home: "There seems no help for it. Sibyl is much better in health since we left Queens land, but I see she would never settle out here. She got to detest the people at Brisbane, and doesn't like those at Hobart much better. I have left her there whilst I'm doing a little roaming with a very decent fellow I have come across, Mackintosh by name.

If these papers have been stolen and are being offered for sale somewhere, it looks to me as though some pretty clever man must have done the stealing, instead of a bank boy." The cashier looked interested at what he said. "At least the boy talks sense, Graylock. If there is a leak in this bank we are bound to discover it in short order.
