But I'll be the rarissima avis, to whom the abandoned nest will always be the prime object of his life's consideration." "Pretty," said Miss Winwood. "It's true." "I'm sure of it," she said pleasantly. "Besides, if you didn't leave the nest and make a name for yourself, you wouldn't be able to carry on our work. My brother and I, you see, are of the older generation you of the younger."
After looking eagerly around and seeing only those whom I had previously met, I inquired, with as little apparent concern as possible: "Hasn't Avis appeared? I thought she was an early riser." To which Fronda quickly replied: "Oh, Avis was up half an hour ago, and asked me to excuse her to the company, saying she was going to spend the morning with a friend she met yesterday."
It was a very pleasant occasion when the Doctor brought Avis over to sit with us at the table where she used to stand and wait upon us. We wondered how we could for a moment have questioned that she was one to be waited upon, and not made for the humble office which nevertheless she performed so cheerfully and so well. Commencements and other Celebrations, American and English.
The Chambers are all so splendid at it, it needs a good player to have any chance against them." "But Miss Latimer's very hard to satisfy at cricket," said Winnie. "So she is. She certainly doesn't allow any slack practice." "She pegged my right leg down once to prevent my moving it, and she's most severe on a crooked bat," said Avis.
I thought Avis was Mona, a thought born partly of hope, I suppose, but it did not seem possible that there could be two such singers. So you are really Avis.

What a surprise!" "Avis! Who'd have thought of seeing you?" "Are you staying here?" "No, only over for the afternoon." "We've rooms at Beach View over there. Come along and have some tea with us, and your brothers too. Yes, indeed you must! Mother will be delighted to see you all. I shan't let you say no!"

He was truthful, generous, high-minded, brave a man who preferred to be of and with his subordinates rather than above them to rule through affection and regard rather than the stern standard of command.
Avis au lecteur!" Abruptly and obviously Pyotr Stepanovitch declined to discuss it. He hurried to the door. "Stay, Pyotr Stepanovitch, stay," cried Lembke. "One other tiny matter and I won't detain you." He drew an envelope out of a table drawer. "Here is a little specimen of the same kind of thing, and I let you see it to show how completely I trust you. Here, and tell me your opinion."
But we had not yet done with the amenities of the Stympsons. The morning's post brought letters to Lady Diana and Lord Erymanth, which were swallowed by the lady with only a flush on her brow, but which provoked from the gentleman a sharp interjection. "Scandalous, libellous hags!" "The rara Avis?" inquired Dermot.
