"Oh, nothing," answered Señora evasively. "Only much has transpired during your absence, Don Felipe." She hesitated as though uncertain how to proceed, then said: "I might speak of certain things, but perhaps I had better not. They would not interest you, anyway." "Ah!" he said at length, endeavoring to conceal the emotion her words aroused. "I I think I understand.
"No; telling my head clerk to send over a wedding-present for you," he said, his face softening under the eye of Mr. Spriggs. "I've got just the thing for you there. I can't see anything good enough over here." The young couple were warm in their thanks. "What did you mean, about your money?" inquired Mr. Spriggs, turning to his future son-in-law. "Nothing," said the young man, evasively.
When he had finished she exclaimed: "Jimmie, if you did anything like that I'd never speak to you again never!" Weakening before her outburst, he said evasively: "I told you I didn't expect to do it." "Whether I think Virginia's a fool or not," went on his wife, "she's my sister.
"Poor father, I'm real glad he's tastin' of the pie," she whispered to Charlotte in the pantry; "greens ain't very fillin'." Charlotte smiled, absently. Presently she slipped into the best room and lighted the candles. "You expectin' of anybody to-night?" her mother asked, when she came out. "I didn't know but somebody might come," Charlotte replied, evasively.

"It's through the town," Hendry answered, "that a woman was wi' the dominie." "A woman!" cried Tosh, "The woman there's been sic talk about in connection wi' the minister? Whaur are they now?" "It's no kent, but the dominie was seen goin' hame by himsel'."
"Just hold on, it won't hurt you." "But but how are we to get back?" Bert had not thought of that, and at the question his face fell a little. "Oh, we'll get back somehow," he said evasively. "You had better turn around now." "Let us go just a little bit further, Nan," he pleaded. When at last he started to turn back he found himself unable to do so.
Now I must inquire how comes it that you know anything of the family of Lunnasting? Were you ever in Shetland?" "There are few parts of the world where I have not been. The members of my order go everywhere, and should know everything that takes place on its surface," answered the priest, evasively. "I do not recollect you in Shetland," said Ronald, "May I ask your name?"
When he spoke again there was the throb of repression in his voice; but that was all. "I'm lonely at times," he went on dully, evasively, "you don't know how lonely. Now and then someone, as you unconsciously did a bit ago, shows me the other side of life, the happy side; and I wish I were dead." A mist came into his eyes, a real mist.
He took out of his pocket a little green glass of an ikon lamp, wiped it with a rag, filled it from the pail and drank from it, then filled it again, wrapped the little glass in the rag, and then put it back into his pocket. "Grandfather, why do you drink out of a lamp?" Yegorushka asked him, surprised. "One man drinks out of a pail and another out of a lamp," the old man answered evasively.
The last he ascribed, evasively, to the loss of a brother in the skirmish near Clifton; and in that primitive state of society, where the ties of affection were highly deemed of, his continued depression excited sympathy, but not surprise. In the end of January, his more lively powers were called out by the happy union of Edward Williams, the son of his host, with Cicely Jopson.
