"So I think you and Paul had better make your arrangements and go as soon as you can wherever it suits you, without minding about the rest of us." Moya gave a little sobbing laugh. "You don't expect me to make the first move!" "Doesn't he say anything to you anything at all?" "He is too ill."

About every other day I see a box as big as a coffin in the hall, addressed to some dry-goods house, 'returned by " "Moya should have sent to me for her things," said Mrs. Bogardus. "I am the one who makes her return them. She can do much better when she is in town herself.
The doctor began his examination. He addressed his patient as "Mr. Bogardus." "Mistake," said a low, husky voice from the bed. "This ain't the man." Doctor Gainsworth pursued his investigations.

Bogardus never got upon your nerves. But, for Paul, there was a poison in his mother's beauty, a dread in her influence over his impressionable young wife, thrilled with the awakening forces of her consonant being.
