"The porter told me it was the Golden Lion conveyance," a strong, deeply modulated voice replied from the fly. "And I think he told you it was engaged," Kelson rejoined bluffly. "I did not quite understand that," the voice of the occupant replied in an even tone. "I am sorry if there has been any misunderstanding; but as I am going to the hotel "

While the rest of his proud countrymen stood aloof, with eyes of silent scorn, from the homely nuncius, Mallet approached him with courteous bearing, and said in Saxon: "May I crave to know the issue of thy message from the reb that is from the doughty Earl?"

"How much was that dinner I just ate, Mr. Raidler?" said the doctor bluffly, looking over his spectacles.
"Just about time you were on the war-path again, my boy," said Jim, bluffly. "Idleness is demoralizing, 'specially in London." Now this was scarcely fair, considering that it was little more than a month since I returned from South Africa, where I had been to observe and report on the conditions of labor in the mines; nor had I been by any means idle during those weeks of comparative leisure.
"Why, we must have come inshore for some distance last night," cried Rodd, in wonder. "Ay, my lad. Banks flooded. High tide perhaps," said Joe bluffly.
