I suggested. At the name she twisted her face into an expression of great scorn. "Lalor!" she said; "well, and have I not countered him?" She had, of course, but as far as I remembered there was something to be said about another person who had at least helped. Now that is the worst of girls. They are always for taking all the credit to themselves.
His eyes informed with puzzlement, he replied: "Why, yes that much, more or less. I live " "Of course," she put in quickly, "I'll give you the lift only too glad. But as for your taking me home at this hour, I can't hear of that." "But " "Besides, what would people say?" she countered obstinately.
"And will I please shut up and leave you alone?" she countered swiftly. "Do you wish to savor the excitement then, explore a world upon world, or am I saying it right? We have Hawaika One which is a new world for us; now there is Hawaika Two which is removed in time, not distance. And to explore that " "We won't be exploring it really," Ross protested. "Why?

"As to that you had better inquire of our friends, Harût and Marût," I answered dryly.
"I did not hear you come in," said Miss Carwell, as she poured the coffee. "No, I did not want to disturb any one," answered the colonel. "I saw a light under Miss Viola's door, and reported myself to her," he went on. "But I don't imagine you slept much more than I did, for your eyes are not as bright as usual," and he smiled at the girl. "Aren't they?" countered Viola.
