"I thought you'd perhaps like to look over this data before morning," said the young man, as he laid a number of typed sheets and a photograph at Ashton-Kirk's elbow. "As you required instant action I got Burgess on the Hume end of it before noon; after luncheon I took up Morris myself." "Thank you," said the other. "Morris," with a nod toward the photograph, "is rather uneventful, personally.
They were not prepared for her in her handsome traveling costume of golden brown, her brown beaver hat, and pretty furs. A beautiful girl can be so charming in her winter feathers. She had expected that Burgess would be first to meet her, and she was ready, she thought, to greet him, becomingly.
Bug, what do you say when you want to keep from doing wrong?" Bug looked up confidingly. "I ist say, 'Dod, be merciless to me, a sinner'." "Why not merciful, Bug?" "Tause! If He's merciful it's too easy and I'm no dooder," Bug said, wisely. "Who told you the difference?" Burgess asked. "Vic. He knows a lot. I wish I had my ball, but let's go up the river."
Quite guests enough were there on this occasion to fill all the chairs, and Master Headley intimated to Giles that he must begin his duties at table as an apprentice, under the tuition of the senior, a tall young fellow of nineteen, by name Edmund Burgess.
Police-Constable Burgess, who was approaching from the other direction, reached it at almost the same moment, and, turning on his lantern, stood gaping with astonishment. "Anything wrong?" he demanded. "Wrong?" panted the sergeant-major, trying to put a little surprise and dignity into his voice.

And why should his eye follow the soft little ripples of her sunny hair, giving a pretty outline to her face and neck. "Could you really take care of yourself? He was talking at random. "I might do like that woman out at Pigeon Place."
The next instant Burgess himself his boat lifted by the swiftly advancing billow saw a wild waste of raging seas scooped into abysmal troughs, in which the bulk of a leviathan might wallow. At the bottom of one of these valleys of water lay the mutineers' boat, looking, with its outspread oars, like some six-legged insect floating in a pool of ink.
Nancy had told her before prayers that Evelyn Coulson, last year's Captain, had arrived, and Penelope Adams, looking perfectly stunning, and Dr. Mary Burgess, who had been in command of a Woman's Hospital Unit in Serbia. Judith wanted to see her most of all, and she wondered if Aunt Nell were with the others.
Men marvel much," the burgess continued, "at this condescension on the earl's part. We have heard indeed that King Richard, before he sailed for England, did, at the death of the late good earl, bestow his rank and the domains of Evesham upon Sir Cuthbert, the son of the Dame Editha.
