I broke my saw, and so I had to stop work." "Certainly," said Brander, graciously, realizing now why Jennie had never wanted to explain. He half wished that she were courageous enough not to conceal anything. "Well, Mrs. Gerhardt," he said, when the mother was stiffly seated, "I want to tell you that you mustn't look on me as a stranger.
Brander, who had made his money by sharp dealing in connection with a great Russian railway, and whom Mr. Peregrine Palmer knew before in London, had enlightened him on many things, and amongst others on the shepherds' passion for deer-stalking.
I mean the two younger ones; I met Mary in Paris during the siege." "Ah. I heard from Brander that she was shut up there, and I was wondering whether you had run against her. He is very savage at what he calls her vagaries. Did she get through the starvation all right?"
I never heard of the existence of the mortgage until Brander wrote to me himself about it at the time he bought the estate; but he gave me an explanation that perfectly satisfied me at the time." Mr. Cumming looked at him inquiringly. "It was an explanation," Cuthbert said, after a pause, "that closed my lips altogether on the subject.
Brookenham, who had remained quite on her own side of the room, explained to her friend. "Where's he off to?" this friend enquired with a casual advance and a look not so much at her hostess as at the cushions just rearranged. "Oh to some places. To Brander to-day." "How he does run about!"

"See here, Clay," he said, sitting down again, with his hands spread out on his knees, "you exaggerate this thing.
I think you will find its provisions satisfactory." Mr. Brander, with a slight shrug of his shoulders that signified that he was indifferent as to the details of the arrangement, took the paper and began to run his eyes carelessly through it.
