He was generous and magnanimous, and all who knew him personally spoke of him with affection. He was oftenest referred to as "a dear chap." Arbuthnot regarded him as a paladin, with no faults whatever.

Arbuthnot had met the unbalanced before indeed she was always meeting them and they had no effect on her own stability at all; whereas this one was making her feel quite wobbly, quite as though to be off and away, away from her compass points of God, Husband, Home and Duty she didn't feel as if Mrs. Wilkins intended Mr.

She held out her two forefingers some six inches apart. "The baroness did not like it. She said it was very dangerous and would give me the chills. But Doctor Arbuthnot said that it must be open. I think I sleep better."

On December 12th Bolingbroke passed away. He had settled himself quietly down in his old home at Battersea, and there he died. He had outlived his closest friends and his keenest enemies. The wife the second wife to whom, with all his faults, he had been much devoted was long dead. Pope and Gay, and Arbuthnot, and "Matt" Prior and Swift were dead.

Richard came back, and whispered to the great man that Anderson was not in his room. "This is very remarkable. A bad headache, and not in his room! Where is he? I insist on knowing where Mr. Anderson is!" "You had better leave him alone," said Lady Mountjoy. "Leave a man alone because he's ill! He might die." "Shall I go and see?" said Arbuthnot.

His rôle was nevertheless promptly taken up by a misguided Scotch trader, Alexander Arbuthnot, and the reign of lawlessness continued.

There, in the solemn twilight, he held her in his arms, and renewed the vows of love with kisses and fond caresses. "Iris, my dear my dear you are mine and I am yours. What have I done to deserve this happy fate?" At nine o'clock that evening, Mr. Emblem looked up from the chess board. "Where is Mr. Arbuthnot this evening, my dear?" he asked.
