There came a faint murmur of protest from her friends, or rather from her followers; and she added with comforting assurance: "Oh, it's all right; you needn't worry about him; I'll see that he behaves, myself."

Before she had moved, however, the door burst open again, and he was striding across the floor to her, to seize her in his arms. "I am a brute, and I know it, but I'm not so far gone as not to realize I'm wreaking my temper on the one I love best in the world. Forget it, darling, and don't worry about me.

"It's all right. Don't worry," the young man assured her. He got down from the trap and dived into the underbrush, rifle in hand. The two in the buggy waited a long time. No sound came to them from the cactus-covered waste to indicate what was happening. When Phyllis' watch told her that he had been gone ten minutes, a cheerful hail came from the road in front.

I just send a cheery line saying "It's no good, old top. Abandon hope," and they know just where they are. Simple and considerate. A glance at Bill's face moved him to further speech.

"He is such a perfect 'pickle, I hardly know what to do with him, Robert," said Mrs. Lloyd to her husband, with a big sigh, one evening at dinner. "Don't worry, my dear, don't worry. He has more than the usual amount of animal spirits, that is all. Keep a firm hand on him and he'll come out all right," answered Mr. Lloyd, cheeringly.
Poor girl! she is really the Madonna of the Chicago movement. All the sorrows and troubles of the Salon rest upon her poor shoulders, and she silently suffers, sacrifices and redeems. Then there is little Sara, another chosen one. It is she who is chosen to make men miserable for the good of their souls. She has been very pensive since the great poet B left, for now she has no one to worry about.
It was a curious sight to see the astonishment of the other lion at this most unprovoked assault.
