"As before." I ignored this. "Think it over, Anita," I urged she seemed to me so like a sweet, spoiled child again. I longed to go straight at her about that other man.
In northern greenhouses it is nursed by skilled gardeners, kept in indifferent vitality by artificial heat and ventilation, with gaged light and selected water; here it was a rank growth, in its natural home, and here we knew of its antiquity from birds whose toes had been molded through scores of centuries to tread its great leaves.
"Nels, your left eye has sprung a limp." "Why, you dog-goned old fule, you cain't hit thet bawl." Nels essayed again, only to meet ignominious failure. Then carefully he gathered himself together, gaged distance, balanced the club, swung cautiously. And the head of the club made a beautiful curve round the ball. "Shore it's jest thet crooked club," he declared.
An' d'you spec' he gwyne to let 'em off 'dout somebody ast him to do it? No indeedy!" "Do you reckon he saw, us, Uncle Dan'l? "De law sakes, Chile, didn't I see him a lookin' at us?".

An' I heerd 'em " "Dinah! Dinah! what are you muttering about don't you hear Mrs. Raymond knocking? Miss Monfort must be tired out of your nonsense. What keeps you there so long?"

"If I had not turned up she might have become en- gaged to you." "Hang might!"Would, then." "If you had not come I should certainly yes, certainly have been accepted by this time. If you had not seen her you might have been married to Fanny. Well, there's too much difference between Miss Ever- dene's station and your own for this flirtation with her ever to benefit you by ending in marriage.
The turbine rotor itself has scarcely any end thrust, so that all the thrust bearing has to do is to maintain the above-prescribed adjustment. The blades are so gaged that at all loads the rotor has a very light but positive thrust toward the running face of the dummy strips, thus maintaining the proper clearance at the dummies as determined by the setting of the proper screw adjustment.
She gaged his heart by her own. Hers was the woman's portion inaction. She must still wait, wait, wait. Still she must eat her heart out. Hers was the woman's portion.
