"Which 'minds me Wild Bill bo't ha'f o' that claim o' Zip's 'fore he set out fer Spawn City." And at his words somehow a curious thoughtfulness fell upon his hearers. Nor was there any responsive smile among them.
For the present, I shall have to put up with something less expensive. I must be near my music lessons. Thanks all the same, dearest." She sought a reason for the expression of thoughtfulness which had suddenly come over his face. "I don't know how it is, but I never see Paris without thinking of Balzac. You don't know Balzac; one of these days you must read him.
"Oh, my love," she said in a sweet, thrilling voice, "dear Harry Musgrave has been to tell me of his happiness. I am so glad for you both so very, very glad!" She did not pause to let Bessie respond, but ran on with her recollections of Harry since he was a boy and came first to read with her husband. "His thoughtfulness was really quite beautiful; he never forgot to be kind.
"My dear," he said, "I wish most devoutly that West or Mrs. Lansing had been lame." Sylvia broke into a ripple of laughter, which somehow seemed to draw them closer. At Herbert's gate they separated, and Bland walked on in an exultant mood which was broken by fits of thoughtfulness.
