All this love and fitness went for nothing in the eyes of the magistrate, who referred the application for permission to marry to his associate advisers, and they inquired into the applicant's circumstances; and if, in their opinion, he was not worth enough money to support a wife properly, permission was refused for him to try.

"C'est ca," said the old consul, flinging the passport across the table, with the air of a man who thoroughly comprehended the applicant's pretension to the designation of gentilhomme Anglais. "Will you be seated ma'mselle?" said the polite old Frenchman, who had hitherto been more like a bear than a human being "Ou allez vous donc; where to, ma chere?" "To Paris, sir." "By Calais?"
The difficulty of gaining admission into the theatre, even when she had appeared upward of a hundred nights, was so great, that it was found necessary, in order to prevent the practice of jobbing in tickets, which was becoming very prevalent, to issue them according to the following directions, which were put forth by the manager: "Tickets must be applied for on the day preceding that for which they are required, by letter, signed with the applicant's proper and Christian name, profession, and place of abode, and sealed with wax, bearing the writer's initials with his arms.
Then the young officer noticed that the applicant's white face was flushing, and that he bit his lips when Corporal Goddard pushed him towards the weighing-machine as he would have moved a barrel of flour. "You'll answer," said Lieutenant Claflin, glancing at the sheet. "Your average is very good. All you've got to do now is to sign this, and then it will be over."
Allison was impressed by the applicant's fluency and apparent frankness, and in less than a week the erudite Elmendorf found himself in halcyon waters. Then came the foreign trip, another thing to rejoice in; but before he sailed Elmendorf had had an opportunity of doing good to his kind, as he conceived it.
The applicant's personal appearance tells something of what she is: if slovenly, her work would be ditto; if flashy, with cheap finery and gew-gaws well, she may be honest and reliable, but she may also make it difficult for you to be mistress in your own house.
I don't think your husband ought to thank me for giving you a pass. You say he's a Union man; why don't he come to you?" Tears leaped into the applicant's eyes. "He's become too sick to travel," she said. "Lately?" "Yes, sir." "I thought you said you hadn't heard from him for months." The officer looked at her with narrowed eyes. "I said I hadn't had a letter from him."
He knew that in another thirty-six hours, when the original applicant's half-year was up, he, and not the other, would have the clearer right to the quarter-section. Confident of his perfect security on the peninsula, and possessed by a sneaking, but denied, abhorrence for rush and discomfort, he rejoiced at delay.
"This is a queer sort of thing," muttered Dick, rising. "What do you mean to say you are the cook?" "Yes; I do plain cooking," replied the child. "I'm housemaid too. I do all the work of the house." Just then certain sounds on the passage and staircase seemed to denote the applicant's impatience. Richard Swiveller, therefore, hurried out to meet and treat with the single gentleman.
