The lama and Kim walked a little to one side; Kim chewing his stick of sugarcane, and making way for no one under the status of a priest. They could hear the old lady's tongue clack as steadily as a rice-husker. She bade the escort tell her what was going on on the road; and so soon as they were clear of the parao she flung back the curtains and peered out, her veil a third across her face.
"I told you I did not know him from Adam." "But had he " he gasped, "you heard him run away was he lame?" I could not repress an exclamation. "Par dieu!" I said. "Yes, I had forgotten that. I think he was. I remember I heard his foot go cluck clack, cluck clack as he ran." His face became burning red, and he staggered.

"Oh, really! do you think that is " But he had not time to finish before the clack of bagatelle balls ceased, and the voice of the little deep-eyed man was heard saying: "Anybody who wants a book will put his name down. There will be the usual prayer-meeting on Wednesday next. Will you all go quietly? I am going to turn the lights out." One gas-jet vanished, and the remaining jet flared suddenly.

You are over twenty-one, and you have not the slightest pecuniary interest in Lady Verinder's Will."
CAPT. M. Strike an attitude at the head of the aisle and wait for Her. Chuck yourself into your uniform! Look like a man! I've got to speak to the Padre a minute. Stand up! Look out when the music starts. There's the organ beginning to clack. Bride steps out of 'rickshaw at Church door. G. catches a glimpse of her and takes heart.
