If they had something to conceal, their choice of means is certainly one of the most amazing ever made by sane human beings. The family of Christian Ashmore consisted of his wife, his mother, two grown daughters, and a son of sixteen years.
We did not know Gaines intimately, though of course Kennedy knew of him and he of Kennedy. Some years before, I recollected, he had married Miss Edith Ashmore, whose family was quite prominent socially, and the marriage had attracted a great deal of attention at the time, for she had been a student in one of his courses when he was only an assistant professor.
There might be a ghost and there might not; but the Colonel himself, he inclined to think, was the most mystifying figure in the house. Lyon found Sir David Ashmore a capital subject and a very comfortable sitter into the bargain. Moreover he was a very agreeable old man, tremendously puckered but not in the least dim; and he wore exactly the furred dressing-gown that Lyon would have chosen.
When the first snowflakes came they fell on a little mound, where by the side of her mother Mr. Ashmore had laid his baby, Emma. Side by side they are sleeping, In the grave's dark, dreamless bed; While the willow boughs seem weeping, As they bend above the dead. And now, dear reader, after telling you that, yielding to the importunities of Emma's parents, Mr.

He changed the name to Ruth Ashmore, and decided to let the manuscript go into the magazine. He reasoned that he would then have a month in which to see the writer he had in mind, and he would show her the proof.
It is due to the foresight and executive ability of Dr. William Ashmore, Senior. He began his missionary work in Bangkok, Siam, but was transferred by our Missionary Union to Swatow, with the view of opening China to our missionary efforts. He had Irish blood in his veins. He was witty and eloquent, fervid and passionate. But he was also a man of grit, and a hero of the faith.
"Quite well," was her quiet reply, and soon after, under pretense of moving from the window, she took a seat across the room.

He shook it off lightly, saying, "Pardonnez moi, ma chère; I've no come to trouble you." Then turning to Ashmore he said, pointing to Carrie, "She be your wife, I take it?" "Yes, sir," replied Ashmore haughtily. "Have you any objections? If so they have come too late." "Not von, not in the least, no sar," said the Frenchman, bowing nearly to the floor.
