A small note-book fell out and a letter two letters, and one of them in the unmistakable writing of Li Ho him-self. This latter, the professor opened first. "Honorable Spence and Esteemed Professor, dear Sir," wrote Li Ho.
But neither Eloise nor Arthur left the minds of either Richard or Edith, and while in her sleep that night the latter dreamed of the gentle Eloise, who called her sister, and from whom Arthur St. Claire strove to part her, the former tossed restlessly upon his pillow, moaning to him-self, "I am glad I did not tell her. She must answer me for love and not for gratitude."
This morning they wiggled somewhat stiffly and there were also various twinges. But considering the trying experiences of yesterday it was surprising that they could wiggle at all. He lifted himself slowly and sank back with a relieved sigh. It would have been embarrassing, he thought, had he not been able to get up. It concerned a man who had sciatica and who didn't take proper care of him-self.

It was a phrase he had him-self taught the bird during that time of illness when John's visit had been the bright spot in long dull days.

They resemble Addison's papers also in the diction, which is natural and idiomatic, even to carelessness. Now and then they are recalled into a momentary notice, but they do not act, or at all modify his pictures of Sir Roger or Will Wimble.
