Amy asked, catching some of Alf's strong interest. "It's all so novel to me." "Certainly. I think you will soon find that you can do pretty much as you please in your new home. You are now among republicans, you know, and we are scarcely conscious of any government."

And didn't everybody she knew tell her what kind of a man he was? Did it do any good?" "She knew he gambled, and drank and he WAS a fascinating chap, Addy. You'll admit that." "You bet I admit it. It was certainly proved when those other women turned up with marriage certificates, and old Mrs.

"Then certainly there's love in it," said Mistress Nell, nodding her pretty head in a mighty sagacious manner. "Does she know to whom you've brought her?" "Not yet," I answered with a somewhat uneasy smile. "How will she take it?" "She has no other help," said I. "Oh, Simon, what a smooth tongue is yours!" She paused, seeming, to fall into a reverie. Then she looked at me wickedly.

My little girl, will you accept some suggestions regarding your toilet?" "I dare say you think it is too grown-up for me. I know I'm not supposed to wear a low gown or a train." "I'm afraid I should be tempted to say the gown had been sent to you before it had grown-up enough," smiled Mrs. Harold.

In exposing myself to you, sir, I should certainly be insuring my rejection. But what you cannot see, what you can only imagine, will not make you refuse me."

"No, it certainly was not," replied Wilton; and as he spoke, the Duke suffered himself to sink back into his chair again, with a long and relieved sigh. The moment Wilton had uttered his reply, however, he recollected that there was one name in the list at which Lord Byerdale had hesitated; and he then feared that he might be leading the Duke into error.

He prided himself on his contempt for the red man's love for paint and feathers, and invariably went on the war-path unpainted and unadorned. In civilised life he would certainly have been a Radical. How far his objection to paint was influenced by the possession of a manly, handsome countenance, of course we cannot tell.
