Burleigh, if you wish, you may group some of your friends near;" and away she rustled, sweeping the floor with her silken train. Mr. Chints lumbered after her with a perplexed and martyr-like expression. He was a mighty man in Washington Market, but in a matter like this he was as helpless as a stranded whale.
With them every man created a peer is first an hero ready-made. They judge of every man's capacity for office by the offices he has filled; and the more offices, the more ability. Every general officer with them is a Marlborough, every statesman a Burleigh, every judge a Murray or a Yorke.
"You are a brick, Trench," he said, as the upper stairway door swung open to release him. "You've the whole chimney," Trench responded, as he swung himself away. Dr. Fenneben met Elinor in the rotunda. "Wait a minute, Norrie, and I'll walk home with you." In the study he met Burleigh, whose stern face was tender with a pathetic sadness, but there was no embarrassment in his glance.
Zelma Burleigh, as she stood thus, a faint, regretful smile softening the habitual hauteur of her face, was beautiful, and something more; yet nobody in the country round about the Grange had ever dreamed of calling her "a beauty."
A lieutenant of A Company, 1st Cheshires: "I only know his nickname," says Private D. Schofield though wounded in two places, rushed to help a man in distress, brought him in, and then went back to pick up his fallen sword. Captain Robert Bruce, heir of Lord Balfour of Burleigh, distinguished himself in the fighting at Mons.

"You won't," cried Burleigh, starting up in a frenzy of rage. "I won't," said Fletcher.
"I believe you like him better than you think, my dear. Your eyes shine like two suns, and I never saw you look so happy." "The morning is so beautiful and I am so glad that I am alive. I know exactly how much I like Mr. Burleigh." "Do all Southerners make such delicious coffee?" asked Senator Burleigh, as the four sat about the attractive table in the breakfast- room.
Occasionally he opened them a little wider and glanced round the comfortable, well-furnished room, or stared with a cold gleam of hatred at Fletcher as he sat sucking stolidly at his brier pipe. It was a comfortable room and a valuable house, half of which belonged to Trayton Burleigh; and yet he was to leave it in the morning and become a rogue and a wanderer over the face of the earth.
"By the way, you cannot deny that you have given him encouragement; you have neither eyes nor ears for any one else when he is round." "He is usually the most interesting person 'round; and I have a concentrative mind. But I never intend to marry, and Senator Burleigh has never even looked as if he wanted to propose.
John Quincy Adams arraigned the politics of his day in the bitterest phrases he could create; but to-day we are asked to remember the glorious past and hide our heads." The Montgomery's entered the room. Randolph, who was as tall as Senator Burleigh and very slender, looked so distinguished that Mrs. Madison immediately decided to remember only that his family was as old as her own.
