Bogardus. She is not ill. The room was a little close." "Never mind the room! Come in here. I want a word with you." The doctor laughed oddly, and obeyed. "Annie, you needn't leave us." "Why, thank you, dear boy! It's awfully good of you," Annie mocked him. "But I must go and relieve Moya." "I don't believe you are wanted in there," said Doctor Fleming.
He had a woman to come and cook up stuff for him to help himself to; but she wouldn't stay here overnight, nor he wouldn't let her. As for a man in the house, most men were thieves, he thought, or waiting their chance to be. It was real pitiful the way he made his end." "Open that window and shut the door when you come out," said Mrs. Bogardus.
"That isn't the point," Mrs. Bogardus persisted gloomily. As she spoke, the two girls came into the room and stood listening. "What is the point, then?" Christine demanded. "Moya has no news; all those pages and pages, and nothing for anybody or about anybody!" "'Such an intolerable deal of sack to such a poor pennyworth of bread," the colonel quoted, smiling at Moya's bloated envelope.
The colonel's drawing-room was as hot as usual the first hour after dinner, and as usual it was full of kindly participant neighbors who had dropped in to repeat their congratulations on the good news, now almost a week old.

"They always keep a certain style of things for the Western and Southern trade." The colonel was crushed. Mrs. Bogardus rose, and he picked up her handkerchief, breathing a little hard after the exertion.
The phrase crossed the Atlantic with Bogardus, and it has survived to the present day among the descendants of the Dutch colonists of New Netherland." The little settlement at Manhattan was entitled to the feudal right of levying a tax upon all the merchandise passing up or down the river.
Bogardus had matched her gift of Stone Ridge to her son, which was a gift of sentiment, with one of more substantial value to her daughter, the income from certain securities settled upon her and her heirs.

Colonel Middleton belonged also to the generation that can carry a sentence through to the finish in handsome style, and he did it with a suave Virginian accent as easy as his seat in the saddle. Mrs. Bogardus always gave him her respectful attention during his best performances, though she was a woman of short sentences herself.
Well, I look at them, when they are as pretty as that one, and I forgive them if they look at me." Moya turned and hovered over the contents of the mail-bag. In the exercise of one of her prerogatives, it was her habit to sort its contents before delivering it at the official door. "All, all for you!" she offered a huge packet of letters, smiling, to Mrs. Bogardus.
