"And yet I had to learn. You haven't taught this other fellow yet, I see. Is he warranted house-broken, or will he have to be chained?" "He will not have to be chained; and a man who is a recluse seldom has to be broken in." "A recluse? What's his hobby: butterflies, stones, stamps, or coins? No, girl; I don't mean that. I'm a little heavy to-night.
The inevitable toper, the perambulating musician, the old woman standing in a doorway, the gossips, the children, and the dog not house-broken may stand for the eternal Ostade, while the merry-makings of David Teniers are too much alike. However, this touch of spleen is the outcome of seeing so many bituminous canvases.
Patty stood in the doorway, the Angora struggling under her arm. "Well, isn't he house-broken?" asked Warrington with gentle malice. "Gentle and warranted to stand?" Patty, for reasons of her own, permitted him to believe that he succeeded in teasing her. "Kate, let us be going. I can not listen to Mr. Warrington's remarks regarding my brother. He treats John as if he were a horse."
"That little Cardross girl is playing the devil with the callow hereabout," Wayward said; "Malcourt, house-broken, runs to heel with the rest. And when I see her I feel like joining the pack. Only I was never broken, you know " "She is a real beauty," said Miss Palliser warmly; "I don't see why you don't enlist, James." "I may at that. Garry, are you also involved?"
Their malice and rudeness and apparent impertinences are due to lack of experience, to the fact that their manners are still untilled, I believe, rather than to intentional insult. They are not house-broken to their new capital, that is all, and that will come in time. Their malicious jealousy peeps out in all sorts of ways.
He brought all his faculties together, for he knew that he would need them in this encounter. "Supposing I had fallen out of it? Well, it could not have mattered. I should not have been more at your feet than I am now." This was very good, considering how dry his tongue was. "If you had fallen out? I had not thought of that. A modern Ulysses, house-broken, and an itinerant siren!
But Jack was always a thorough man. I don't blame you for loving him. I call him all sorts of names to Patty, and it is fun to watch her eyes flash." Kate gave him a curious smile. "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "You smiled." "I had a happy thought." "Probably about that house-broken John of yours." "Who's calling John house-broken?"
As it became necessary for me to discover the habitat of ghosts in considerable numbers, I joined the American Society for Psychical Research, thus securing desirable information in regard to haunted houses. These I visited persistently, until my powder was perfected and had been proved efficacious for the capture of any ordinary house-broken phantom.
