Why, Susan, I never realized how good just seein' was till I thought of Keith, who can't never see again." "Yes. Well, I've got to go in now, Mis' McGuire. Good-bye." Words, manner, and tone of voice were discourtesy itself; but Mrs. McGuire, looking at Susan's quivering face, brimming eyes, and set lips, knew it for what it was and did not mistake it for discourtesy.
"Grave accusations these, Mr. Ramsay, very grave accusations. I trust you are making them upon some better grounds than mere personal prejudice or idle rumor, if you expect me to believe them. Not that I mean any discourtesy to you, sir, in saying this," he said, in his roundest, most impressive tones. "What do you mean?

He smiled at their folly, for his heart remembered his friend, and he held in pity all those who so greatly rejoiced in the Queen.

If you ask him he will help you all he can, but he will not volunteer; and so if you depend on volunteered advice, you may fall through the bridge and break your neck, perhaps.
