I don't see how I can leave here just now, that's a fact." "Ed!" cried his friend, half-admiring, half-impatient. "Why, man, it's the chance of your life.

They served me with the ale, though I suspect it was not the strongest on the premises; and the landlord's wife, opening the little half-door and bending down, gave me a kiss that was half-admiring and half-compassionate, but all womanly and good, I am sure.

You have all the cheerfulness of this spring day in your face."

A coiffeur and a manicurist were waiting in the next apartment; it was time that Madame habited herself. The professor listened to these announcements with an air of half-admiring wonder. "I suppose I must be going," he said, rising to his feet. "There is just one thing I should like to ask you, Elizabeth, if I may, before I go." "Well?" "Who was the young man whom I met here just now?"
