In spite of himself, he felt the contagion of Hetty's merry and unsentimental view of the situation; and it was with a trace of obstinacy rather than of a lover's pain in his tones that he continued: "But, Miss Gunn, indeed you must not make light of this matter in this way. It is not treating me fairly.
Gunn," said the landlord, in a tone of disgust, "since you are disposed to persecute this boy, I will myself pay your bill, and trust to him to repay me when he can." "But, Mr. Gates " said Philip. "I accept!" said the agent, with alacrity. "Receipt your bill," said the landlord. Mr. Gunn did so, and received a five-dollar bill in return.
When the captives Gunn and Jarmerik contrived to slay the king and queen of the Slavs and made their escape, they were pursued by the barbarians, who shouted after them that if they would only come back they would reign instead of the murdered monarch, since by a public statute of the ancients the succession to the throne fell to the king's assassin.
I may say at once that Colonel Weatherley seems to me to have been throughout the dupe of the other conspirators. The next personage was a good-looking desperado, who called himself Captain Gunn of Gunn, and who was locally somewhat irreverently known as the very Gunn of very Gunn.
Ebenezer Williams, to come and sleep under her roof? The twinkle in his face showed her plainly what he was thinking. He began to reply: "You are very kind, Miss Gunn" Hetty interrupted him: "No, I am not at all kind, Dr. Williams; and I see you are laughing at me, because I've had to speak to you, after all, as if I liked you.

"Perfectly lovely," said Marie, "but" with a slight shiver of her expressive shoulders "a little cold and outdoorish, eh?" "Nonsense," returned Kitty dictatorially, "and if he IS cold, he can easily light those logs. They always build their open fires under a tree. Why, even Mr. Gunn used to do that when he was camping out in the Adirondacks last summer.
Thirty years ago, when I first examined this bed, I saw many trees, with their roots in the old soil, laid open at the base of the cliff near Happisburgh; and long before my visit, other observers, and among them the late Mr. J.C. Taylor, had noticed the buried forest. Of late years it has been repeatedly seen at many points by Mr. Gunn, and, after the great storms of the autumn of 1861, by Mr.
"I hardly think; Miss Gunn," he went on, "that I could make you understand, in your superb health, just all I mean by change of conditions. It means change of food, air, surroundings; every thing in short, which addresses itself to the senses. It means an entire new set of nerve impressions." "Sally isn't in the least nervous," broke in Hetty. "She's always as quiet as a mouse."
The young Squire was a lazy, affectionate man to whom the good things of life had come without his taking any trouble for them: even his wife had been more than half wooed for him by his doting father; and there were those who said that pretty Mrs. Gunn had been quite as much in love with the old Squire, old as he was, as with the young one; but that was only an idle village sneer.
"Don't think too much of that," said Gunn, in a hard voice. "I was never one to be baulked, as you know." "Come, come. Let us be friends," said Mullet; "the girl is young, and has had her way."
