"She is very much interested," reflected Oscard, upon whom her eagerness of manner had not been lost. "Surely, it cannot be that fellow Durnovo?" "Oh, yes," he replied with unconscious curtness. "Mr. Durnovo cannot ever remain inland for long without feeling the effect of the climate." Guy Oscard, with the perspicacity of his sex, gobbled up the bait. "It IS Durnovo," he reflected.
"My daughter has intimated that she wishes these gentlemen to act for her. I haven't received any additional instructions from her," he said, with none of the curtness of tone that his stiff legal vocabulary implied. "But the first communication I received was from you at least from Mrs. Spragg." Mr. Spragg drew his beard through his hand. "The ladies are apt to be a trifle hasty. I believe Mrs.
"I don't know," said Hilda, with curtness. He stepped aside, in the direction of the window, and examined curiously the surface of the glass, as though in search of a concealed message which it might contain. In a new and much more animated voice he said to the window: "Of course I know it's all my fault!" Hilda glanced up at his back; he was still not more than three feet away from her.
She will be a tower of strength. She's a Russian, and one of the best women I know." She listened with a slight smile. "What's her name?" "Miss Orleneff, Sonya Orleneff, a great pal of my sister's and an all-round good sort. I'd like to bring her in to-morrow afternoon. Will five be convenient?"

At the curtness of his speech a very faint wave of color ran up her cheek; and when he saw this he was sorry and glad in a single breath. At least, she could not say afterwards that he had ever tried to make himself falsely civil and lyingly agreeable. "Yes, I have stayed very much too long already. You've promised that you will be careful, haven't you?
"I am informed," he went on coolly ignoring her curtness, "that there is a guest in this house named Santos Ramon Santos." He said it in a half insinuating, half questioning tone. "You might inquire of the landlady," replied Constance, now perfectly composed. "Mrs. Dunlap," he burst forth, exasperated, "what is the use of beating about? Do you know the real character of this Santos!"
It was on the letter that I based my demand, though in it my brother did not even intimate that he wished to speak to me. The doctor, however, had no way of knowing that my statement was not true. To deny my request was simply one of his ill-advised whims, and his refusal was given with customary curtness and contempt.
But the very curtness and peremptoriness of the official's manner to him, as well as the improbable story which he had told, only had the effect of strengthening and confirming the suspicions in the faithful fellow's mind; for the attachment of the young Inca to this man was well known, and even the highest officials of the palace had thus far not disdained to be extremely civil to him.
"No; that idiot Bazin had the folly to make himself verger, as you know, and therefore cannot leave Notre Dame. "Very well, take Blaisois, with whom I know not what to do, since I already have Grimaud." "Willingly," said Aramis. At this moment Grimaud appeared at the door. "Ready," said he, with his usual curtness. "Let us go, then," said Athos. The two friends mounted, as did their servants.
