By-the-by, how did you like the concert yourself, eh? You thought it was grand? Quite right; so it was. Nothing but crash-ban g, varied now and then by bang-crash; all the women dressed within an inch of their lives; smothering heat, blazing gas, and no room for anybody yes, yes, Thomas; grand's the word for it, and comfortable isn't." With that expression of opinion, Mr.
There was no moonlight, but a plenty of starshine, which showered in a very rippling of spangled silver through the yawning casements of the skylights. Just as I returned the tumbler to the rack whence I had removed it, the door of Miss Le Grand's cabin was opened, and the girl stepped forth. She was arrayed in white; probably she was attired in her bed-clothes.
"He is up in Colonel Grand's room at the hotel," she answered, as if that explained everything. "Talking business, I suppose," he said sarcastically. "Yes, they are settling certain details." She spoke in such a way that Joey looked up in alarm. "You don't mean to say you are you are going to " "No, not that, my friend," she said, quite calmly. "I didn't think so," said Joey fervently.

For of the Carrousel kind, or of the Royal-Mummery kind in general, there has been, for graceful arrangement, for magnificence regardless of expense, inviting your amiable Lord Malton, and the idlers of all Countries, and awakening the rapture of Gazetteers, nothing like it since Louis the Grand's time.
They observed that these last objects might have been effected by the residue of the money in Holland, which was lying dead. Mr. Grand's observation to me was, that Mr.

We'd both been down below to welcome Mrs. Grand's lawyer when he arrived. So, actin' on Ernie's advice, I gets pinched the second night after hearin' about it. Ernie's a humane cuss. He saved two lives, then and there."

"How about starting 'On Majestic Hudson's Banks?" suggested Polly. "We can't use majestic, it's too long and grand's a horrid word." Angela considered, frowning. "Well, leave out the adjective and say: "On Hudson's bank Stands fair Seddon Hall "That's all right, listen, I'll play it." They sang the words to Betty's accompaniment. "Truth, honor and joy Is her message to all."
Grand's going soon," she added, with great cheerfulness. "Did you know? Grand says he hopes he shall go soon." "How did Emily look?" asked Miss Christie, when John came home.
