And then, after the second child, another blonde, winsome touching little thing, not so proud and flame-like as Joyce after Annabel came, then Egbert began truly to realize how it was. His wife still loved him. But and now the but had grown enormous her physical love for him was of secondary importance to her. It became ever less important.
She said no more at the time, and when, afterwards, she ventured to refer again to the subject, she was so tremendously shut up that she saw clearly it was discreet to make no further inquiry. Plainly there was some tremendous quarrel between Egbert and his father, for they were barely on speaking terms. Mr. Saxon threw out occasional inuendoes that caused his son finally to stump from the room.
The ealdorman and Egbert were provided with long poles, and with these they sent the little boat rapidly through the water. After poling their way for some eight hours they reached the town of Norwich, to which the Danes had not yet penetrated; here, procuring what articles they needed, they proceeded on their journey to Croyland, making a great circuit to avoid the Danes at Thetford.
Egbert has from the first had a curious American tendency to present me to his many friends as 'Colonel. I am sure he means as little by it as when he calls me 'Bill, which I have often reminded him is not a name of mine." "Oh, we understand the poor chap is a social incompetent," said Belknap-Jackson with a despairing shrug.
I heard the Mixer's amazing presentation speech. "Mrs. Kenner, Mr. Floud, his lordship say, listen here, is your right name Brinstead, or Basingwell, like your brother's?"

"Pleased to meet you, Lord!" said he, and grasped the newcomer's hand.

He imagined he was merely recapitulating the obvious features of the situation for their convenience.
Egbert triumphed and established England none too soon. As early as the year 787, according to the "Saxon Chronicle," "ships of the Northmen" had reached our southern coasts, and Egbert had scarcely named his new kingdom when they imperilled it.
That officer is Colonel Egbert Crawford, of whom you may have heard." "I think I have heard the name, through the newspapers. Getting up a bogus regiment, or something of that kind, isn't he?" asked Leslie. "Any relation to Miss Bell, who accompanied us the other day on that that expedition?" "Which you regard as among the most foolish things of your life? Eh, Mr.
"Well, it took me some time to get the accent," replied the other with a modesty which I could detect was assumed. More acutely than ever was I conscious of a psychic warning to separate these two, and I resolved to act upon it with the utmost diplomacy. The third whiskey and soda was served us. "Three rousing cheers!" said Cousin Egbert. "Here's looking at you!" said the other, and I drank.
His tale of Teague Poteet, of some years ago, was contemporaneous with the list of striking mountain stories from that strong and highly gifted Tennesseean, Miss Murfree, or "Charles Egbert Craddock." In the dialectic spirit her stories charm and hold us.
