The Countess had abandoned, much to her lord's regret, the coloured and figurative language of her maiden days, the American slang. The spot where Merton and Lady Bude were seated was beautiful indeed. They reclined on the short sea grass above a shore where long tresses of saffron-hued seaweed clothed the boulders, and the bright sea pinks blossomed.
"Why, Miss," replied the butler, "we know that Mr. Greve had no call to like Mr. Parrish seeing how things were between you and the master ..." "You mean the servants know that Mr. Parrish and I were engaged ..." Bude made a deprecatory gesture. "Know, Miss? I wouldn't go so far as to say 'know. But there has been some talk in the servants' 'all, Miss.
Thither could we twain sail in the magic boat of Bran! Ah see, the sky opens like a flower! Indeed, there was a sudden glow of summer lightning. 'That looks more like rain, said Merton, who was standing with the Budes at an opposite corner of the roof. 'I say, Merton, asked Bude, 'how can you be so uncivil to that man? He took it very well. 'A rotter, said Merton.
Go on, get out before I put the dog on you!" He waved an imperious hand at Bruce. "Hullo, Bude," said the boy, "you've grown very inhospitable all of a sudden!" "God bless my soul if it isn't young Mr. Wright!" exclaimed the butler. "And I thought it was another of those dratted reporters.

The captain placed refreshments on the table. 'Now, gentlemen, he said, 'you have seen the least riled of my professors, and you can guess what the rest are like. Professor Rustler is weeping in his cabin over a shrivelled old mummy.
"He left us all together in the dining-room, you, Horace and Robin and Lady Margaret and Mary ... Miss Trevert and her mother, you know," he added by way of explanation to the Inspector. "And he went straight to the library?" "Straight away, Mr. Humphries, sir," broke in Bude. "Mr. Parrish crossed me in the hall and gave me particular instructions that he was not to be disturbed."
