He rushed, in, and was going to speak to her; but she screamed, and no conjurer ever made a card disappear quicker than she did that letter, as she bounded away like a deer, and stood, blushing scarlet, and palpitating all over. Uxmoor was ashamed of his brusquerie. "What a brute I am to frighten you like this!" said he.

"That is true indeed," said Hinze, in an undertone of deep conviction. "You have put your finger with strict accuracy on the causes of decline. To a cultivated taste like yours this must be particularly painful." "I did not say there was actual decline," said Felicia, with a touch of brusquerie.
