And they found their reward, too as men always do when they do their work well and think of what it means. There were others in Butte, too, who were thinking only of themselves. Some of them hung one of the agitators, whiles before I was there.
Montjoie's artist friends of the kind which haunt a man whose moeurs are gradually bringing his talent to ruin stood round her, smoking and talking and staring at the English girl between whiles. The arrogance with which she bore their notice excited them, but they could not talk to her, for she did not understand them. Only Montjoie had a few words of English.
To this question, he replied, that venesection had been three times performed; that a vesicatory had been applied inter scapulas; that the patient had taken occasionally of a cathartic apozem, and between whiles, alexipharmic boluses and neutral draughts.

Bell and Geoff took turns at 'dishing up' in the kitchen, and sat down at the table between whiles; and they barely escaped being mobbed when they omitted one or two dishes on the programme, and confessed that they had been put on principally for the 'style' of the thing, a very poor excuse to a company of people who have made up their mouths for all the delicacies of the season.
And odd whiles, as I did carry Mine Own, she to talk a little with me of her memory-dreams of the olden days; and mayhap you to think it strange that we said not overmuch on this wise; but the way of our journey to have been so utter bitter, as you have seen; and we to be more of that far age, than we did be of this present age; and this present life to seem but a dream of Memory, and we to be set then with the realness of that life.

Graeme rose, and, without speaking, came and laid her head upon her friend's lap. In a little she said, "How I longed for this place! I had no one to speak to.
"You haven't a bin dreamin' of it, have 'ee?" said Joan, her face growing pale with apprehension. "Naw, 'tis gospel truth, every ward.

"Jerrem's comin' up into t'other room," said Joan, not wishing to betray all the alarm she felt: "will 'ee go into un there the whiles I rins down and says a word to Eve?"
