I wish I could tell you what I think of you!" Freddie laughed amusedly.

Claire sat down at the table. "Come on and enjoy your venison, you two, and have done with the ills of the universe." The two men joined her. It was a strange trio: Claire, a dashing boy in Philip's made-over corduroys; Lawrence wearing his host's summer serge as though it were his own, and Philip looking at them, amusedly.

I read these with a solemn interest, but my cousin Monica was not similarly moved. She read them with the same smile faint, serenely contemptuous, I thought with which she had first looked down upon them. It was the countenance of a person who amusedly traces the working of a character that is well understood. 'Uncle Silas is very religious? I said, not quite liking Lady Knollys' looks.

"That's tempting. I think I'll begin at once." He laughed. "At what?" She scrutinized him from top to toe. "Oh, at your goggles." He fingered his glasses. "These?" She nodded. He took them off and looked at them amusedly. "That's the first step. You're ten years younger already," she said. "Oh, am I?" "Yes. I'm sure of it when you don't frown." "And next?"

Reddin walked lingeringly past the house in the dark, heard it, and was very angry and miserable.

"I wonder if you really do," Claire mused, half to herself. "Yes," Lawrence insisted, "although she might be necessary to that statue. At least I believe she might and I would feel sure of it if I wanted her badly enough," he ended amusedly. "That merely means that you are still utterly selfish!" said Claire. "Yes, I am." Lawrence was thoughtful.

Darrow laughed amusedly. "No, this is the truth," he assured. "I'll tell you what: I'll give you boys six bits apiece for the whisker hairs, and four bits for the galls. I expect to sell them at a profit." Next morning they shook off their lethargy and went seal-hunting. I was practically commanded to attend.

"You must have wonderful maids," suggested Nancy, smiling. "I have!" said Dorothy amusedly, "They're crazy about me I don't know why, because I work them like dogs. But of course we're away a lot, and then they always have parties," she added, "and they run things pretty much to suit themselves. But we have good meals, don't we, Elaine?" she asked, childishly. "Heavenly!" said Elaine.

This fellow seems to have been struck by Krebs, says he's a coming man, that he's making original contributions to the people's cause. Quite a tribute. You ought to read it." Dickinson, who had finished his lunch, got up and left the table after lighting his cigar. Ralph's look followed him amusedly. "I'm afraid it's time to cash in and be good," he observed.

Salisbury presently submitted; "she would tell the other family all your private business." "If they chose to pump her, she might," Alexandra said, with unintentional rebuke, and Mr. Salisbury added amusedly: "No, no, no, Mother! That's an exploded theory.
