Eunice looked at him with laughing eyes, and shook her finger with a mock threat. "Shelldrake," continued Mr. Billings, without noticing this by-play, "was a man of more pretence than real cultivation, as I afterwards discovered.
Those habits may indeed give pleasure; they may bring extreme excitement, as madness notably does, though it is in the highest degree functionless and gratuitous.

Now, they were equally and entirely ignorant on that subject; but upon the crowd their words made an impression.
No evidence of exhaustion was there in her spirit. Wilson had observed this by-play, but Anson had not. "What come off?" he asked. "Wal, the Honorable Gunman Riggs jest got caressed by the lady as he was doin' the elegant," replied Moze, who stood nearest. "Jim, was you watchin'?" queried Anson. His curiosity had held through the afternoon.

Sophie never makes a mistake." Maudsley assented politely, but, stealing a look at Lady Dargan, wondered what the little by-play meant. Gaston was between Sir William and Mrs. Gasgoyne.
