"That is true," replied Rosamond; "and I do not object to doing the thing, but I only wish we had some good, decent excuse for running away: you don't expect that Mrs. Hungerford will part with you without remonstrance, without struggle, without even inquiring, why you must run away?
"But I am a blundering sailor," he rejoined, "who only believes his eyes." "You are young yet," she replied. "I shall be older to-morrow," was his retort. "Well, perhaps you will see better to-morrow," she rejoined, with indolent irony. "If I do, I'll acknowledge it," he added. Then Hungerford smiled at me inscrutably. We two held a strange secret.
Hungerford, we often respect brave men whom we do not like." Then he, understanding her, but refusing to recognise the compliment, not altogether churlishly replied: "And I might say the same of women, Mrs. Falchion; but there are many women we dislike who are not brave."

Lovell had propounded riddles to me, but never before had I caught such a glimpse of the deeply philosophical workings of his mind. "When you come to think of it, life ahem life is very uncertain, Miss Hungerford." I replied that it was very uncertain.
Hungerford, standing up, said he was sorry to see two such great men running foul of one another; that, however, they ought to be looked upon as patriots and fathers of their country; and since they had by mischance discovered their nakedness, the other members ought, according to the custom of the East, to turn their backs upon them, that they might not be seen in such a shameful condition.

How many evenings have you spent alone, as you were spending this one?" "Not a great many. I just " It must have been an open meeting, otherwise Mr. Hungerford couldn't have gone. Why didn't you go with Mother?" Here was the one question Daniel had dreaded most. To answer it truthfully meant telling of the quarrel between Serena and himself.
