It was Madame Montford, who came a day too late to save the storm-tossed girl, but returned to think of the hereafter of her own soul. While the earth of Potter's Field is closing over all that remains of Anna Bonard, Maria McArthur may be seen, snatching a moment of rest, as it were, seated under the shade of a tree on the Battery, musing, as is her wont.
"But you see I have to. Latin's one of my weak points, and there's generally only one page of this book between me and Effie." She threw the words off with a half-ironic smile. "Do excuse my disturbing you," she added. "You didn't disturb me," Anna answered.
He looked down at her curiously out of the tail of his eye but he said never a word. Indeed, Mary Rose gave him little opportunity for speech as she had so much to say. When they reached the corner where Anna Paulovitch waited across the street like a stolid figure of Patience, Mary Rose waved her hand. Anna Paulovitch responded like a semaphore. "That's Anna!
'I wonder at that, she began; 'my sister has never felt so friendly to you as just now; much more so than when you first came. 'Really! 'Why, haven't you noticed it? Aren't you glad of it? Arkady grew thoughtful. 'How have I succeeded in gaining Anna Sergyevna's good opinion? Wasn't it because I brought her your mother's letters? 'Both that and other causes, which I shan't tell you.

To marry a rich woman or give out Anna Karenin as my work. And as that is impossible I dismiss my difficulties in despair and let things go as they please. You once praised Rod, a French writer, and told me Tolstoy liked him. The other day I happened to read a novel of his and flung up my hands in amazement.

But, noticing that Kitty only responded to her smile by a look of despair and amazement, she turned away from her, and began gaily talking to the other lady. "Yes, there is something uncanny, devilish and fascinating in her," Kitty said to herself. Anna did not mean to stay to supper, but the master of the house began to press her to do so.
The Mexicans were utterly unprepared for this furious hand-to-hand assault, and quickly broke before the violent onset. On all sides they gave way. On the left the Texans penetrated the woodland; the Mexicans fled. On the right their cavalry charged that of Santa Anna, which quickly broke and sought safety in flight.
