Tell me that you are not sorry to see me again." Her passion conquered for a moment her fear. "But I am sorry," she exclaimed. "Our marriage must be annulled. It was no marriage at all."
Besides his master was talking and Binks liked to have his opinion asked. Once again Vane's eyes went back to the photograph he had been studying. It was one of Margaret taken years ago. . . . And as he looked at it, a pair of grey eyes, with the glint of a mocking smile in them, seemed to make the photo a little hazy. "Come on, old man. We're going to Balham. And I need you to support me."
This could not possibly have been got without the white grounds." On the Sunday we went to Balham to dine early with Mr. and Mrs. Macmillan, and met Mr. Ralston and Mr. Green, the historian. It was noted as a very interesting day by my husband. On the sixth day we took leave of Mr. and Mrs.
All these boroughs where you were born, and hope to lay your bones, shall be reinstated in their ancient magnificence, Hammersmith, Kensington, Bayswater, Chelsea, Battersea, Clapham, Balham, and a hundred others. Each shall immediately build a city wall with gates to be closed at sunset. Each shall have a city guard, armed to the teeth.
So through Ewell, Cheam, and Morden, up to Tooting; the throng increasing at every mile. At Balham, finding no train for an hour, I footed it again.

Besides, even if I hadn't, I'm surely at liberty to change if I get more light. Whoever makes a fetish of consistency is a trumpery body and little use to God or man. What ails ye at the Empire, too? Is it not better to have a big country than a kailyard, or a house in Grosvenor Square than a but-and-ben in Balham?" Lady Lavinia folded her hands.
"For a genius like Lemaitre," Peter Ruff said, thoughtfully, "to have even thought of Soho, was foolish. He should have gone to Hampstead or Balham. It is easy to fool our police if you know how. On the other hand, they hang on to the scent like leeches when once they are on the trail. How many warrants are there out against Jean in this country?" "Better not ask that," the woman said, grimly.
In Palestine, at least in these mountainous parts of Palestine, men have the same general sentiment about the seasons as in the West or the North. Snow is a rarity, but winter is a reality.
