Pendyce had a horror of gaming, he liked to figure there and pass for a man interested in sport for sport's sake, and he was really rather proud of the fact that his son had picked up so good a horse as the Ambler promised to be for so little money, and was racing him for pure sport. The guests had been carefully chosen. On Mrs.
"Do you know if Lanky Lane ever had visitors here I mean visitors not of his own class?" "I never 'eard of none. Lanky wasn't the sort o' chap to trouble about callers. He used to spend 'is nights in the Three Nuns wiv us; but he'd sit 'ours over two o' gin. 'E saved 'is money, 'e did." "But look here," exclaimed Ambler, seriously.
"Oh, by the way!" he said, as though suddenly recollecting. "Have you met your friend Ambler Jevons lately?" "No," I replied. "He's been away for some weeks, I think. Why?" "Because I saw him yesterday in King's Road. He was driving in a fly, and had one eye bandaged up. Met with an accident, I should think." "An accident!" I exclaimed in consternation.
Lightfoot, that, if I get sick, Betty Ambler is the only girl I'm going to have inside the house." "Very well, my dear," said the Major, meekly, "I'll try to remember; and, in that case, I reckon we'd as well drop a hint to Dan, eh, Molly?" Mrs. Lightfoot looked at him a moment in silence. Then she said "Humph!" beneath her breath, and took up her knitting from the little table at her side.

"Come away, Julia," implored the Governor in a whisper, resisting an impulse to close his ears against the cry.
Allan's opinion, would be to seek a position in the line of journalism which would give him a living while he was waiting for his more ambitious work to find buyers. But since the interview with Mrs. Allan he realized the folly of this dream. Then, whither should he go? To the chums of his boyhood? Rob Stanard, Dick Ambler, Rob Sully, Jack Preston, where were they?
The present trustees of the church are Dr. Hall, Messrs. J. R. Ambler, F. Mitchell, and W. Fort. The successor of the Rev. W. Walling was the Rev. G. Beardsell, who still occupies the situation; but before saying anything to the point concerning him we must describe the church and its concomitants. All Saints' is a good substantial-looking church.
"Will you go swimming with me this evening, Eddie?" said Dick Ambler one day when school was out. "With all the pleasure in life," was the hearty response. Dick went home to his dinner with a singing heart. If anything could bring Edgar down from the clouds to his own level, surely it would be bathing together.
Then Sir Epinogris required Sir Palomides and Sir Safere, his brother, to ride with them unto his castle, for the safeguard of his person. Sir, said Palomides, we will be ready to conduct you because that ye are sore wounded; and so was Epinogris and his lady horsed, and his lady behind him upon a soft ambler.
"Are you quite certain that you've never seen him with any stranger at nights?" "Never to my knowledge." "Well," my companion said, "you'd better go and call the police."
