"Si, si, Rosa," he replied equably, and then to us he smiled and, raising his hat, set it well over his eyes. He looked at his watch. "Gee!" he said, "I must be off. I'll have to finish the yarn another time. Good day to you." Looking down at his boots for a moment reflectively, and pocketing his pipe, he stepped down and walked sedately towards his house.
The care of one important body or soul becomes so engrossing, that all the noises of the outer world begin to come thin and faint into the parlour with the regulated temperature; and the tin shoes go equably forward over blood and rain. To be overwise is to ossify; and the scruple-monger ends by standing stockstill.
Passing on from the eastern district, marked by its equably distributed rainfall, and therefore naturally forest-clad, I have seen the trees diminish in number, give place to wide prairies, restrict their growth to the borders of streams, and then disappear from the boundless drier plains; have seen grassy plains change into a brown and sere desert desert in the common sense, but hardly anywhere botanically so have seen a fair growth of coniferous trees adorning the more favored slopes of a mountain-range high enough to compel summer showers; have traversed that broad and bare elevated region shut off on both sides by high mountains from the moisture supplied by either ocean, and longitudinally intersected by sierras which seemingly remain as naked as they were born; and have reached at length the westward slopes of that high mountain-barrier which, refreshed by the Pacific, bears the noble forests of the Sierra Nevada and the Coast Ranges, and among them trees which are the wonder of the world.
"I don't keep them in the back yard, but I usually have one around the office. I could shadow the girl." Miss Lacey took hope. This met her longings. "If we only surely knew where she is!" she responded acutely. "Yes, if we only did," the judge replied equably. "Where is she, Dunham?" The young man flushed at the question. "I can't tell you," he answered, after a moment's pause.

"No," he said equably, "I'm interested to discover how far you'll go." The snub left Miss Forbes unembarrassed. "Oh, as far as you'll let me," she answered. "Did you ride in from your ranch and drag Io out of the tangled wreckage at the end of your lasso?" "My ranch? I wasn't on a ranch."
Scobell received the news equably, and directed his chauffeur to return to the villa. He could not have done better, for, on his arrival, he was met with the information that His Highness had called to see him shortly after he had left, and was now waiting in the morning-room. The sound of footsteps came to Mr. Scobell's ears as he approached the room.
One or two ordinary mortals, representing the Press, leavened the throng, but the entire gathering "advanced" and unenlightened alike seemed to be drawn to a common focus: a large canvas placed advantageously in the southeast corner of the studio, where it enjoyed all the benefit of a pure and equably suffused light.
"And perhaps" he spoke cautiously, with a half-deprecatory glance at her bright face "perhaps in time, you know you will be able to forgive me for something else as well." "I think the less we say about that the better," remarked Molly, tilting her chin a little. "All right!" said Charlie equably. "Only, you know" his voice was suddenly grave "I was and am in earnest." Molly laughed.
I don't think he is a man; he must be a devil. He can do things no man ever thought of doing." "You exaggerate his capacities for evil," I said, as equably as I was able, for her agitation was so great that I feared for her reason. "What has Mannering been saying to you, for it was he whom I saw behind the hedge when I brought you out of the storm, I suppose?" "You saw him?" she queried.
