"But this is not good news of his friend; it is only uncertain news," interrupted the old gentleman quickly. "Now I think of it, Mrs Bland, Mr Leather is to call here by appointment this very morning, so you must be particularly careful not to say a word to him about this telegram, or Captain Stride, or anything I have told you about the lost ship you understand, Mrs Bland?"
Had the storm driven them to other climes where bland winds prevailed? Oh, no! See what prudent creatures they were that wintry day. At the eastern border of the woods, where the sun shone warmly and the keen westerly breeze was broken and tempered, my little friends were found in goodly numbers, well knowing where the Frost King's anger would be softened.
Harry stared at the bland, handsome condescension and hated it. "Oh, you have always had the devil's own luck," he cried. "Devil give you joy of it, now." "You mistake me, I believe. I can forgive you more easily than some others." He turned upon Sunderland. "I will tell you where Prince James is, my lord. Safe out of your reach. On his way to France."
"I am afraid we have frightened your little friends away," said the gentleman, addressing the child, with a bland and gentle manner; "we did not intend to do that!" His voice seemed to startle the children. Isabel turned to her friend, with a glad smile. "Oh, Mary, it is he!" Mary started up from the grass. "Oh, sir, we are so glad to see you!"

The bland and soft eyes, which for him never had but one expression, were closed; and the long and disheveled tresses half hid, while they contrasted, that bosom, which had but the night before first learned to thrill beneath his own. Happier in her fate than she deserved, she passed from this bitter life ere the punishment of her guilt had begun.
Senora Gredos turned quite pale and clenched her hands, but she managed to control herself again with a powerful effort and masked the rage she felt under a bland, false smile. "Oh, that makes a difference," she said calmly. "I hope they will be happy if they marry," she added significantly. "Oh, that is quite settled," said Caranby.
"Besides, my opinion won't count for much in face of the very satisfactory financial results you have secured. I'm sorry for what has happened, on Muriel's account." He turned and went out; and met Ethel on reaching West's house. "I must try to arrange for an interview with Sylvia and Captain Bland," he told her. "There are matters that should be explained to them." "Won't it be painful?"
"Glad to meet you, seh. But you're mistaken in one thing. I'm not your host. This gentleman behind you is." The man turned and saw Bucky, who was standing with his back against the door, a bland smile on his face. "Yes, seh. I'm your host to-night. Sheriff Collins, hyer, is another guest.
