Those good people who believe in a censorship of literature for the sake of protecting the innocent American girl should become enrolled at Herndon Hall. There they might be occasionally horrified, but they would come out wiser mortals. Adelle knew all about incredible scandals.
"Leith's face is not a likable one, I will admit, but a lot of good fellows have ugly dials. It seems that the Professor wants skulls, and it appears that Leith knows of a spot where he can gather up the oldest specimens in Polynesia. There's nothing wrong about that. As to Miss Herndon, she struck me as being a young lady who was well able to look after herself."
"I 've quit, that's all, Bob. I just couldn't stand for reform any longer, and so I 've come back here to you." The man drew a deep breath. "Did n't you like Mrs. Herndon?" "Oh, she 's all right enough, so far as that goes. 'T ain't that; only I just didn't like some things she said and did." "Kid," and Hampton straightened up, his voice growing stern. "I 've got to know the straight of this.
The Kamschatkans have a great power of imitating other men and animals, and this is also the case with the inhabitants of Vancouver. Herndon was astonished by the mimic arts of the Brazilian Indians, and Wilkes made the same observation on the Patagonians. This faculty is still more apparent in the lower races.

She would not have to take this alone, however, for Miss Thompson, the head teacher, had telephoned the trust company that she herself would be in B on the following Friday and would escort Miss Clark to the Hall.
Miss Thompson accompanied the trust officer to the door out of earshot of Adelle and assured him haughtily that Herndon Hall which sheltered a Steigman of Philadelphia, a Dyboy of Baltimore, not to mention a Miss Saltonsby from his own city, knew quite as well as he what was fitting under the circumstances.

"You have read the accounts in the afternoon papers of the peculiar death of Mademoiselle Violette, the little French modiste, up here on Forty-sixth Street?" he inquired. "Yes," answered Kennedy.
