I inquires. "It's Eddie Bayles," says she. "He clerks in Crosby's grocery. But he don't make but thirty-five a month. Ella Noakes was wild about him once." "Old Mack tells me," I says, "that he's going to marry you at six o'clock this evening." "That's the time," says she. "It's to be at our house." "Rebosa," says I, "listen to me.
This would be best done by those great masters of books who from time to time appear, the Fabricii, the Seldens, Magliabecchis, Scaligers, Mirandolas, Bayles, Johnsons, whose eyes sweep the whole horizon of learning. But private readers, reading purely for love of the book, would serve us by leaving each the shortest note of what he found.
Skirmishing began immediately across the field, each line behind a fence. After a little, Captain Bayles of Custer's staff came from the right with an order to move the Sixth by the left flank and take position on the left of the Fifth.
If Eddie Bayles had a thousand dollars cash a thousand dollars, mind you, would buy him a store of his own if you and Eddie had that much to excuse matrimony on, would you consent to marry him this evening at five o'clock?" The girl looks at me a minute; and I can see these inaudible cogitations going on inside of her, as women will. "A thousand dollars?" says she. "Of course I would."
I make these introductory remarks to show how shallow is the criticism passed upon a novelist or poet like Scott, in that he is not now so popular or so much read as he was in his own day. It is the fate of most great writers, the Augustines, the Voltaires, the Bayles of the world.

"You're not going to do either," I said with firmness. "You are going right home to unpack those new draperies that Harry Bayles sent you from Shanghai, and you are going to order dinner for eight that will be two tables of bridge.

The wisdom and necessity of Custer's order was, however, immediately apparent. Some confederates lurking in the woods to the left, opened fire into the flank of the Fifth Michigan, which for the moment threatened serious consequences.
You would not think religion consisted in a sanctified demeanour, in an ostentatious almsgiving, in a harsh judgment of all without the pale of your opinions. You would behold in it a benign and harmonious system of morality, which takes from ceremony enough not to render it tedious but impressive. The school of the Bayles and Voltaires is annihilated.

Sometimes he preferred to make his progress on the river, for which purpose he had a magnificent State barge "furnished with yeomen standing on the bayles and crowded with his Gentlemen within and without." His stables were also extensive.
