But I am James Eustis's girl and that's my salvation, Mr. Hunter. Please take your letters. You will send me back mine to-morrow." He stroked his short gold beard. The color had come back into his face and a new light flashed into his cold blue eyes. He laughed. "Why, you game little angel!" he said delightedly. "Gad, I never thought you had it in you never.
I rose so in my own estimation that I fancy I was a bit condescending to St. Stanislaus! I was vain of the Butterfly Man's standing folks couldn't like him too much, to please me. And I was greatly interested in the many invitations that poured in upon him, invitations that ranged all the way from a birthday party at Michael Karski's to a state dinner at the Eustis's.
Eustis expostulating with her daughter, the news of Mary Virginia's unannounced engagement had sifted pretty thoroughly throughout the length and breadth of Appleboro; a town where an unfledged and callow rumor will start out of a morning and come home to roost at night with talons and tailfeathers. That Mary Virginia had all James Eustis's own quiet will-power, everybody knew.
Scientific periodicals and the better magazines came regularly to John Flint's address. That was Eustis's way. This friendship put the finishing touch upon the Butterfly Man's repute.

But having only one I must say I want her to do better." "I see," said my mother. To me she said later: "And yet, Armand, although I condemn it, I can quite appreciate Mrs. Eustis's point of view.
It was a crushing disaster and a well-deserved rebuke for the Administration, for whether the fault was Hull's or Eustis's, the President had to shoulder the responsibility.
Have you made that little fool think you're in love with her?" "Why, and what then?" he asked coolly. "I like the child. Of course she is without form and void as yet, but there's quite a lot to that girl." "Oh, yes! Quite a lot!" said she, with sarcasm. "That's what made me take notice. James Eustis's girl and barrels of money. She'll be a catch. You are clever, Howard! But what of me?"
"'In the headmost of these boats, the Sheldon Thompson, I, with my staff and four companies, a part of Colonel Eustis's command, arrived here on the 8th. All on board were in high health and spirits, but the next morning six cases of undoubted cholera presented themselves. The disease rapidly spread itself for the next three days.
