But that for my poor timid inactive girls, the support and animating presence of a few chosen friends just give them that degree of life and spirit which serves to warm their hearts, and keep their minds in motion." Miss Sparkes came to spend the next day according to her appointment. Mr. Flam, who called accidentally, staid to dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Carlton had been previously invited.
But then, you know, I forgot all about it again until Lyad and Flam opened that purse and he wasn't inside. Then I remembered, and after that I didn't forget again." "No. Of course." Pilch's slim fingers tapped the surface of the table between them. She said then, paying Repulsive the highest compliment Pilch could give, "It he was a good therapist!" After a moment, she added.
She wrinkled her nose at him. "But that's all over and done with. And now no more business tonight. I promise." She turned her head a little. "Flam!" she called. "Yes, First Lady?" said the voice of the red-headed girl. "Bring us Miss Argee's property, please." Flam brought in a small package of flat disks taped together. Lyad took them.
The captain listened to all this "flam," bowed his acknowledgments, and then suddenly asked the mandarin the prisoner's name. Again the fat, complacent face darkened, and almost scowled. "No," he replied sullenly, he himself "was not permitted" to know the prisoner's name. His crime? He did not know. When was he to be tried? To-morrow.
He was the only tight- tendencied member of the household, and she feared he might decline to give. But Milt was envious and emulative. "Forty-two dollars and sixty-nine cents," he declared in a voice rendered triumphant by the fact of his having beaten Flam. Amarilly drew a sigh of relief. "It's going to add up fine, now. Guess I'll take my own account next.
"Jack," said I, "if there be fresh-baked bread in the regimental ovens yonder, fetch a loaf, in God's name. I could gnaw black-birch and reindeer moss, so famished am I and the Sagamore, too, no doubt, could rattle a flam with a wooden spoon."
In the afternoon, when the company were assembled in the drawing-room, the conversation turned on various subjects. Mr. Flam, feeling as if he had not sufficiently produced himself at dinner now took the lead. He was never solicitous to show what he called his learning, but when Miss Sparkes was present, whom it was his grand delight to set down as he called it.
So we were bringing him down here, hoping to match him with Jessamy, or, failing him, some other good man. But the fool, not knowing Jessamy, get's himself thrashed, and the whole thing's a flam." "Jessamy has given up the game, Uncle." "I know, but he loves it still. And you saw the fight! Tell me of it no, wait the others must hear."
As to myself, it is time enough for me to think of the things you recommend. Thank God, I am in excellent good health and spirits and am not yet quite fifty. 'There is a time for all things. Even the Bible allows that." The Doctor shook his head at this sad misapplication of the text. Mr. Flam went away, pressing us all to dine with him next day; he had killed a fine buck, and he assured Dr.
"It is impossible to say," continued he, "what injury religion has suffered from the opposite characters of these two men. Flam, who gives himself no concern about the matter, is kind and generous; while Tyrrel, who has made a high profession, is mean and sordid. It has been said, of what use is religion when morality has made Mr. Flam a better man than religion makes Mr. Tyrrel?
