Her eyes flashed and Foster thought she looked like a wild cat as she indulged her savage rage. "The cur!" she cried in a harsh voice. "He went to Banff, in British Columbia.

The one is the almost absolute perfection of the waiting, carried on by gentlemanly youths of about eighteen or twenty, who must, I think, have formed the corps d'élite of the thousands of waiters in the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The other dominant recollection of the Banff Hotel is the wonderfully beautiful view from the summer-house at its northeast corner.
She had sweet peas in her hair, and at her belt. The husband had a boutonniere of them. Next morning, Carberry. Bade an elaborate farewell to the Sweet Pea Lady. She is going straight to the coast where they catch steamer for Japan. Praise be to Allah! I shall see her no more. The heavy polite is wearing. Next day, Banff Hot Springs.

The duke forced himself to partake of some solid food in addition to the two cups of coffee he hastily swallowed. And then, as the chaise was announced, he arose to depart. "I desire to keep these rooms until further notice, landlord. I shall return here this evening, and stop here during my attendance upon the trial at Banff," said the duke, as he got into the chaise, followed by the valet.
"'Married, March 15th, 1845, Valerie, only daughter of the Baron de la Motte. That was my poor, dear mother! "'Divorced from her grace, Feb, 13th, 1846, He divorced her, and what for! She was a saint on earth, I know! Perhaps it was for being that she was divorced! Let us see. 'Married secondly, April 1st, 1846, Lady Augusta Victoria, eldest daughter of the Earl of Banff. Ah, ha! that was it!
She went downstairs and joined Lord Vincent in the little parlor, where a breakfast was laid of which it might be said that if the coffee was bad and the bannocks worse, the kippered herrings were delicious. After breakfast they took their places in or on the Banff mail coach; Lord and Lady Vincent being the sole passengers inside; and all their servants occupying the outside.
