Taking the check presented to him he began, with a certain hesitation: "Dear Pan Aloysius, this service, really friendly, which thou art rendering me, even without request on my part, is truly magnanimous, but be assured that the moment income from my property increases " Darvid interrupted him a second time.
I likes we should live here all the time." "Well," began Ignatius Aloysius Diamantstein, in slight disparagement of his rival's powers as a cicerone; "well, I ain't seen no lions, nor no rubber-neck-boat-birds. Und we ain't had no rides on nothings. Und I ain't heard no hollers neither."
"But I do know already. The other day when that fat man was selling you those go-carts I heard him say. `F. o. b. Buffalo, and I asked Aloysius what it meant and he told me." It was inevitable that Fanny Brandeis should come to know these things, for the little household revolved about the store on Elm Street.
That is the difficulty with the little millionairess Royal. She is not capable!" He uttered the last words slowly and with emphasis. Rivardi gave him a quick searching glance. "You seem to know that as a certainty" he said, "How and why do you know it?" Aloysius raised his eyes and looked straight ahead of him with a curious, far-off, yet searching intensity.
"'Man never is but always to be blest'!" quoted Colonel Boyd "And woman the same! I have been telling this lady, reverend father, that maybe she will find her 'palazzo' a bit lonesome without some one to share its pleasures." Don Aloysius looked round with a questioning glance.

"And then I won't want to, you mean?"
"Aloysius!" cried Malvina, with tightly clasped hands, and she began to tremble. How was this? A ball, and nothing more! The question with her was of things as important as human dignity, conscience, unendurable restraint, and fear in the presence of her children. He stopped and inquired: "What is your command?"
One may stay awhile on the Archway looking down upon the innumerable roofs of London stretching southward into the haze, and shining here and there with the reflection of the rising sun, and then wander on along the picturesque road by the college of Saint Aloysius to the new Catholic church, and so through the Waterlow Park to the cemetery.
While speaking she gained some courage; some internal motive was to be felt in her, which forced her to speak. "I will not try to justify myself before thee, Aloysius, nor to deny that I am guilty I will say only this, that I, too, was unhappy, and that my fault has caused me dreadful suffering.
