When they were alone, she added in a low voice, "I shall see him once more, probably for the last time socially. We cannot know what changes are in store for us." "Well, I won't see him," said Mrs. Hunter, frigidly; and she left the room.

"It has always been a pleasure to me," said I very frigidly, "to place my services at the disposal of Madame Brandt." "Vauvenarde, Monsieur," he corrected with a smile. "And is Madame Vauvenarde equally satisfied with the reconciliation?" I asked. "I think Monsieur Vauvenarde is somewhat premature," said Lola, with a trembling lip. "There were conditions " "A mere question of protocol."

I don't know a fellow can't explain just why he does the wrong thing in a situation like that. But knock the fight out of a man and make him groggy, and he'll bungle every time." "Well, do something now," ordered Lucy frigidly; and Hiram heard Drummond scrape back his chair in rising. "All right we'll see. I'll beat it now. Up late last night playing poker. Rotten luck, too!"

So, out of deep silences, the two leapt to speech and immediately subsided to the depths again: as on a sultry summer's day fishes flash their tails in the sunlight and leave a solitary circle widening on the water. Then Cornelia knew what was coming. In set phrase, and as one who performs a duty frigidly pleasant, he congratulated her on her rumored union.

"No!" said Jan resolutely. "I'd give away all I had in hand to give, and welcome; but I'd never sign bills. A doctor has no business with 'em. Don't you remember what they did for Jones at Bartholomew's?" "I don't remember Jones at Bartholomew's," frigidly returned the doctor. "No! Why, what's gone with your memory?" innocently asked Jan.

"You oblige me by your prompt courtesy, M. de Vilmorin," said the Marquis, but in a tone so cold as to belie the politeness of his words. "A chair, I beg. Ah, Moreau?" The note was frigidly interrogative. "He accompanies you, monsieur?" he asked. "If you please, M. le Marquis." "Why not? Find yourself a seat, Moreau." He spoke over his shoulder as to a lackey.

"Was it Mrs. Kilroy?" Beth made no sign. "Was it Mr. Kilroy?" he persisted. "I have already said that I shall not tell you, Mr. Pounce," she answered frigidly. He sat in silence for a little, looking extremely annoyed.

Roberval acknowledged his greeting with a sternness of manner for which Charles was hardly prepared. "Monsieur is welcome to my house," he said frigidly. "But why need he have taken so long to decide upon entering? I saw you," he added, fixing his keen glance on the young man, "pass twice on the other side of the street."

If he retained a hold on her, he could undoubtedly apply the scourge at leisure; any kind of scourge; he could shun her, look on her frigidly, unbend to her to find a warmer place for sarcasm, pityingly smile, ridicule, pay court elsewhere.

"I'm glad to find you alone," he said; "I want to make an explanation." "Don't bother about it," she told him frigidly. "You owe me no explanations whatsoever, Mr. Turner." "I'm going to make them anyhow," he declared. "You saw me twice this afternoon in utterly asinine situations." "I remember of no such situations," she stated still frigidly, and started to move on toward the house.
