She was not sure she had quite understood him, but she remembered that she had felt her face grow hot when he spoke, perhaps because she had not understood him. His next visit was a day or two delayed, and in her anxiety she had ventured as far as the highway to earnestly watch for his coming. From her hiding-place in the underwood she could see the team and Jim Hoskins already waiting for him.
It's inhuman, it's inhospitable, when Lily wants you to, so! Why, I never heard of such a thing!" Elmore desperately caught up the sheet of paper on which Lily had written "Dear Mr. Hoskins," and groaning out "Well, well!" he added, I have your letter. Come to the station to-morrow and say good-by to her whom you will yet live to thank for remaining only Your friend, ELIZABETH MAYHEW.
It was a bas-relief representing a female figure advancing from the left corner over a stretch of prairie towards a bulk of forest on the right; bison, bear, and antelope fled before her; a lifted hand shielded her eyes; a star lit the fillet that bound her hair. "That's the best thing you've done, Hoskins," said Elmore. "What do you call it?" "Well, I haven't settled yet.
Poor fellow! we under-clerks all thought it was a fine thing to sit at a desk by oneself, and have 50l. per month, as Roundhand had; but I've a notion that Hoskins and I, blowing duets on the flute together in our second floor in Salisbury Square, were a great deal more at ease than our head and more in harmony, too; though we made sad work of the music, certainly.

Presently he thought he heard his uncle shout, and getting up looked aft. Tom Hoskins was now at the helm.
One of the items in the 'Social Intelligence' to-day states that your old friend, Professor Hoskins van Huysman, and his wife and daughter have come to London, and will stay ten days before 'proceeding' to Paris and the South of France, and so, of course, they will be here for your lecture, and naturally he will not resist the temptation of making one of your audience."

"It looks as though we were hemmed in," said Frank Hoskins in an even tone. "Yes," agreed Jerry, "and in a tight place."
Elmore, with her head on one side, scrutinized her in every detail, and Elmore regarded her young beauty and delight with a pride as innocent as her own. A dim regret, evaporating in a long sigh, which made the others laugh, recalled him to himself, as the bell rang and Hoskins appeared.
Where are you, O Hoskins, bird of the night? Do you warble your songs by Acheron, or troll your choruses by the banks of black Avernus? It happened that there was a very small attendance at the "Cave" that night, and we were all more sociable and friendly because the company was select.
