"But you did not learn to read in the wigwam, Fluella?" said Claud, inquiringly. "No," replied the girl; the proud air she had assumed, while speaking of her origin, quickly subsiding into one of meekness. "No; but I supposed that Mr.
The mountain air was now acting like a tonic upon him, and the kindly ministrations of the brothers of the monastery gave him every help his condition needed. Even the scars upon his back had ceased to smart, and he was all but fit for the road and the saddle ere Lord Claud joined him again. His lordship had heard good tidings of the horses in the valley below.
But, were it otherwise, the daughter should not be held responsible for the faults of the father, nor, without good reason, be accused of favoring any sinister designs he may entertain." "Claud takes a just view of the case, on both points, I presume," rejoined Mr. Elwood. "As to Gurley, I know not how, or why, he came here; nor do I wish or expect to have any thing to do with him.
"Let me see how long is it since you ?" "Four years. She's very glad to have me, of course." "And how's your brother Claud?" "Oh! All right, thanks; a bit worried with the estate. The poor old gov'nor left it in rather a mess, you know." "Ah! Yes. Does he do other work?" "Oh! Always busy in the parish." "And your brother Richard?" "He's all right. Came home this year.
By way of distraction, I asked if the young man at tea with the disheveled hair and startlingly unorthodox tie was a friend of Claud's, and she said, "His greatest!"

"Yes," replied Claud, "yes, certainly; for, even without company, I am never tired of standing on this commanding point, and looking out on this beautiful lake and its surrounding scenery." "Ah! then you think, Mr.
I have been putting two and two together for some time, so that I am not altogether taken by surprise." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because you were not here, for one thing. Because it was father's private business, for another." "He seems not to have made it his business to take any care of his children's interests," said Claud bitterly.
This crawling ass, who would lick your boots for sixpence, to have him patting me on the back and calling himself my brother Good God! it's too sickening." "Not YOUR brother," Deb gently corrected him. "He is mine if he is yours." "Oh, not necessarily!" "Deb," said Claud, with an air of desperation, planting himself before her, "what are you going to do?"
In spite of Serapsis, Anubis and Isis, he had not the faintest odor of myth about him; absolutely bourgeois, he lacked even that atmosphere of burlesque that surrounded Claud; he was not even vicious.
