Seemingly she didn't expect an answer to her question, for she was busy lighting a Russian cigarette. It was the first time in his life that he had seen a woman smoke. With embarrassed politeness he glanced away from her as she threw back her head and inhaled deeply. He blushingly scrutinized the room. In the farther corner two trunks stood open.

I should never have ventured a criticism without your invitation to do so. Sincerely, your whole attire is somewhat antiquated. It is just as faulty as the Bible. So I would advise you to wear apparel more suited to your natural charms." "But where can such be found?" she blushingly asked, offering no comment upon Mr. World's aspersion upon the Holy Scriptures.

Bundy's knowledge of the human heart, for it was this fine principle that broke down the barriers after he had reflected reassuringly that it was not meddling with Mrs. Ryves's affairs to try and find out if she struck such an observer as happy.

"I think," said I, as we prepared to descend from our lofty perch, "I'm sure it's just er that kind of thing that brought one Francis Drake out of so very many tight corners.
