NEW YORK, August 28, 1916. P. F. COLLIER & SON, Publishers. DEAR SIRS: With reference to previous conversations I beg to send you the enclosed statement for the "Story of the Great War". It has been written by Baron Mumm von Schwarzenstein, former Ambassador to Japan, now attached to the Foreign Office in Berlin. Yours very sincerely, F. BERNSTORFF.
"I wrote him two letters," she said. In the silence of the night her voice was unusually clear and distinct. "I you make me wonder if they ever reached him." Mrs. Collier, with her eyes fixed upon the girl, rose slowly from her chair and came towards her. She reached out her hand and touched Miss Cameron on the arm. "Florence," she said, in a whisper, "have you "
Indeed some People are not to be reclaim'd by Ridicule; and Mr. Collier knowing their Vertues, with how much Compos'dness and Resignation they can bear a Hiss, out of Compassion, took Example by the Town and neglected both.
Bill, the collier, was tall as well as strongly built, and in the very prime of life; while George, though a sturdy lad for his age, was many inches shorter, and appeared at first sight an absurdly inadequate foeman. In a moment the sticks were clattering merrily together, the lad hesitating not a whit, for he felt sure that he was at least a match for the other.
I looked without seeing the bed, which was so piled up with superfluities that they nearly touched the ceiling. "When this orgie is over," Collier said, "every one will have forgotten that I have to go to bed to-night." "I will stay and help you," I answered, for I was in the mood when anything seems to be possible.
"Let's have some tea." "I can't stay for tea." Nancy felt her lips begin to quiver childishly, but she could not control their trembling. "Oh! I had better go," she said. Collier Pratt took one step toward her. Then he turned toward the canvas. Nancy read his mind like a flash. "You're afraid you'll disturb the what you want to paint," she said accusingly. "I am."
From where Miss Cameron sat on the veranda in the shadow, Sir Charles could see only the white outline of her figure and the indolent movement of her fan. Collier had left his wife and was returning slowly towards the step. Sir Charles felt that if he meant to speak he must speak now, and quickly.
After that a little wait, and then the horses; and the bishop mounted a great bay charger, managing him as a master. And to me was brought my white horse by the collier, looking a grim fighting man enough in his arms, and to Wulfhere and Wislac black and gray steeds given by Ealhstan himself.
The collier brought me up somehow, though Heaven alone knows how, considering my age and his own occupation. Do you know, Boy, one of the most weary things in life is the sense of an obligation you can never repay. If I could only have done something to prove my gratitude to my first foster father! But there! I must not think of it.
