I wanted to insult the man, and to drive him away, but I could do nothing of the kind. On the contrary, I felt that I was disturbing them, and that it was my fault. I made a presence of approving everything, this time also, thanks to that strange feeling that forced me to treat him the more amiably in proportion as his presence was more painful to me.
The time of Messrs. Tongs and Ball was indeed valuable, and no portion of it was likely to prove more so than that bestowed on the affairs of "Cobbler" Horn. Both the lawyers smiled amiably. "You could not waste our time, Mr. Horn," said Mr. Ball. "No," echoed Mr. Tongs. "That's very good of you, gentlemen.
The discussion appears to have become rather heated and angry on both sides, for the guard and a porter at Munsden both noticed that they seemed to be quarrelling; but the upshot of the affair was that the lady snapped the chain, and tossed it together with the locket to my brother, and they parted quite amiably at Shinglehurst, where Harold got out.
Then, amid the green débris scattered upon the stone, he sat up, and once more went through his fastidious toilet. But life for the little mouse in his grass-world was not quite all watching and hunting. When his toilet was complete, and he had amiably let a large black cricket crawl by unmolested, he suddenly began to whirl round and round on the stone, chasing his own tail.

Miss Penelope rose, and gave the signal for the ladies to retire. "I shall take you at your word, Mr. Vermont," she said graciously, as she passed out.
They came and very amiably asked his permission to play some of his compositions at one of the approaching concerts of the Association. Christophe was flattered, and accepted: he went to the Wagner-Verein, and, urged by Mannheim, he was made a member.
A horn of whisky imported Scotch?" The same definite shake of the head followed, but before the visitor could pass a verbal negative the trader laughed. "Nothing doing?" he said amiably. "Well, maybe you're right. You boys need fit stomachs. Drink's a darn fool play, but Here's 'how," he added, as he gulped down the dash of spirit he had poured out for himself.
He gave a signal to our guards and I wondered what influence the Russian had attained, for promptly, without question, they drew aside. At me he smiled amiably. "Have you found your friends yet?" he went on and now I sensed something deeply sinister in him. "No! It is too bad! Well, don't give up hope." He turned to O'Keefe. "Lieutenant, I would like to speak to you alone!"
Then somebody touched my arm, and I unclenched my fist. I could understand the conductor's position, and beside, in the law, I had been guilty myself of contributory negligence.
