One cannot tire of repeating the last words of the Chancellor Oxenstiern to his son when starting for the tour through Europe: 'Ito mi fili et inspice quam parva sapientia mundus regitur' ... The Journal continues: March 16th. Dinner at home to the Duc de Broglie, the Dartreys, Mintos, Houghton, and Lady Molesworth. April 1st. Went to Draycott on a visit to the Cowleys.

"Doctor Draycott and myself," replied the surgeon from Fallowfield who being much the senior took the lead "deem it expedient that you should send for your man of business as soon as possible," thus evading the direct question. Ralph passed his hand across his brow and remained silent a few moments. "You may do so, but it is too late I am afraid.

"I promised my poor father that I would never put my name to paper in that way, and I never will." "What?" "You heard, Mark." "Do you mean to tell me that, after what you have said, you will not help me out of this bit of trouble?" "No, I do not mean to tell you that. I want to help you." "Then, come on." "Yes, come on to Mr Draycott, and let's ask him what is to be done."

"The trouble is Hell." The Quartermaster passed his hand wearily over his forehead. "Utter, absolute, complete Hell. The boys have been in the front line for twenty-one days; and" he spoke with a sudden dreadful earnestness "the end is not far off." "My God!" muttered Draycott, "is it as bad as that?" No trenches, no dug outs, no reserves. Ceaseless German attacks, rain, mud, death.

If I were in any sort of fix, or in any sort of trouble, I would ask you to advise me, and to tell me what to do, before I would go to anyone else, even Draycott, and why should you leave me outside your worries?" "You see, that's just it, they aren't exactly mine. If they were I would tell you, but I can't tell you, because what I was thinking about was connected entirely with someone else."

This is the midnight train." "Under those circumstances," Draycott murmured, with a ghastly attempt at mirth, "the wine is off. I must go and secure my sleeping-berth." Have you ever seen a fly-paper which has come "to the end of a perfect day"? Lumps of glutinous flies drop off on one's head, and still it seems as full as ever. It was the same with that train.

Francis Heath was led into the awful pitfalls of cross-examination. Anyone may forget and recall facts later, but to state facts that may be used as evidence is to stand handcuffed before inexorable justice, and Mrs. Wilder had left her hands free. "Is anything the matter?" Draycott jerked out the question as he got up to leave the room. "You seem rather silent."

I've been robbed, rooked, cleared out of everything I possess," and tormented by recollections and by the impotence of his rage the unfortunate engineer beat the oak table with the back of his hand until his knuckles bled. Carrados waited until the fury had passed. "Continue, if you please, Mr. Draycott," he said. "Just what you thought it best to tell me is just what I want to know."

My colleague yonder will, unless something very unforeseen happens, pull him through." "But if anything unforeseen does happen?" said Mr Draycott, nervously. "Then telegraph to me, and I will come down at once. But I don't think you need fear, Mr Draycott, and I congratulate you upon the happy turn things have taken. Good-morning. I shall hurry off to catch an early train."

"The next lady presented to her Majesty, by her Grace the Duchess of Opals, was the lovely and accomplished Edith, Countess of Castlemere, on her marriage with the noble Earl of that name." "By jove! it sounds well," exclaimed Arthur, starting out of a reverie into which he had fallen, and springing to his feet. "Draycott" continued he, "am I awake?
