She felt herself immeasurably her superior; but it would be ungenerous to allow her to see this, and she spoke very kindly; but Dada answered timidly and formally. "I am glad," Gorgo began, "that accident brought you in our way;" and Dada replied hastily: "I owe it to your father's kindness, and not to accident." "Yes, he is very kind," said Gorgo, ignoring Dada's indignant tone.
Dada pulled off her veil and waved it in the air, but the signal met with no response. They were at the house, no doubt, for some men were in the very act of drawing up the wooden gangway which connected the vessel with the land. Medius hurried forward and was so fortunate as to overtake the steward, who had been superintending the operation, before he reached the garden-gate.
I have to join a circle of mine in Baden, but there's no hurry; I could be disengaged for a week. And I have things to ask you, owing to my indiscretion but you have excused it. Woodseer turned for a farewell gaze at the great Watzmann, and saluted him. 'Splendid, said Lord Fleetwood; 'but don't clap names on the mountains. I saw written in your book: "A text for Dada."
Marcus and Dada allowed themselves to be carried onward by the throng which was tending towards the city-walls and the Canopic gate.

Dada had never owned such a lovely dress!
Dada looked on intensely disgusted, and only shook her head when one or another of her companions was sure she felt a shock of earthquake or heard the roll of distant thunder. She could not explain to herself why she, who was usually timid enough, was exempt from the universal panic though she felt deeply pitiful towards the terrified women and children.
"Thank you very much, but Katharine is staying with the boy and he is quite safe there." "Then I will stay and pray with you for the dear little child." Dada had not missed a word of this simple dialogue.
