She had been astonished at the meagreness of the supplies she found, but made no comment. "You must keep up your strength, my dear girl," she urged, when Charlotte faltered over the food. "It's a long way between now and the time when it will be all over. We may be delayed a day or two in getting off, and delayed all the way down. I hear this storm is raging all over the country."
They had scarcely spoken the one to the other, but he had found out her name, and, writing, cajoled her into seeing him again. Very soon he had captured her in the good old way, as women or so men like to think prefer to be wooed, by right of conquest. There had been no one to say them nay, no one to comment unkindly over so strange and sudden a betrothal.
I picked up this handkerchief in the châlet, it is marked 'G. de Bois, yet it is three days since M. de Bois was here; and Madeleine and I have spent every morning since then at the châlet. When could M. de Bois have dropped this handkerchief there?" The count took the handkerchief from her hand, and examined the mark without comment: he could not trust his voice at that moment.
"The Virgin is no more at Antwerp than she is here," was the doctor's comment on this appeal. "She is in heaven," said a voice that seemed to come from the sea. "Who said that?" "'Tis the devil!" exclaimed the servant. "He is scoffing at the Virgin of Antwerp." "Let us have no more of your Holy Virgin at present," the skipper cried to the passengers.
Remorse was gnawing hard at his heart, though he was trying to believe that it was entirely another emotion. He had not slept properly for nights; his head ached, and his nerves were jumpy.

And then, as the carriage passed, Rowcliffe's youngest cousin did an odd thing. She tossed the slipper over the bridge into the beck. Harker had not time to comment on her action. They were coming for him from the house. Rowcliffe's youngest sister-in-law had fainted away on the top landing. Everybody remembered then that it was she who had been in love with him. Alice had sent for Gwenda.
For the first time in his life the coarse fingering of public curiosity had touched the secret places of his soul, and nothing that had gone before seemed as humiliating as this trivial comment on his tragedy.
They secured newspaper comment in favor, interviews with prominent people and resolutions from conventions, but these had no effect. At the annual convention in October the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. John T. Fuller, Orlando; first vice-president, Mrs. Edgar A.

Not only was this the inevitable guide in reference to style, clothing, hat, gloves, costume, material, jewelry, the dress that she should wear, but also the book that should be read, the play that should be heard, the operatic score that should be strummed on the piano, the bonbon that should be presented, the opinion that one should hold, the picture one should comment upon, all was hopelessly a question of chic.
Arthur was known to the sentries and servants by this time. He visited several of the prisoners, and his gratuities made his visits welcome. He was conducted almost without remark towards Dalaber's cell, and no one made any comment when he said to Freda, in the commanding tone of a master: "Bring the basket along, sirrah!
