"I didn't know," he added with an outburst of honesty, "but what you might be some nobleman in disguise." "A nobleman!" said the other with ill-concealed contempt. "My name is Saint-Prosper; plain Ernest Saint-Prosper. I was a soldier. Now I'm an adventurer. There you have it all in a nut-shell." The inn-keeper surveyed his guest's figure with undisguised admiration.
Catenac watched Mascarin as he was speaking with an expression of ill-concealed enmity. "You are well informed, on my word," muttered he. "I think I am," returned Mascarin. "After this you will go back to the hotel, and not until then do you understand? and you will consult as to the first steps to be taken. The plan proposed by Perpignan is an excellent one." "What! you know it then?"
"Your price?" "Sorry you feel that way about it," said "Karl" with ill-concealed insincerity. "You must know thieving is no more what it once was. Even I, too, often am put to it to make both ends " "If you please, sir how much?" "Ten thousand dollars." Silence greeted this demand, a lull that to Lanyard seemed endless.
Morris looked on with ill-concealed curiosity while Abe took a banded Invincible from his waistcoat pocket and restored it to the box whence it originally came. "What's all that for?" Morris asked. "That's a souvenir from a pleasant morning," Abe replied as he thrust the box of cigars back into the safe and slammed the doors.

"Is there a steamer for New York to-night, Fouche?" he asked, as, completely worn out, he threw himself upon his throne and let his chin hang dejectedly over his collar. "No, Sire," returned Fouche, with an ill-concealed chuckle. "There is not. You've missed your chance by two days. Then isn't another boat for ten days." "Then I am lost," sobbed Napoleon. "Yes, Sire, you are," returned Fouche.
"But if your debtor is rich and powerful, you need not indulge your fears to-day; to-morrow, perhaps, he will fulfil his promise," remarked the young girl, with ill-concealed anxiety. "My fears may mislead me, Mary, but I am sure that my debtor's affairs are in a very bad condition.

But the ill-concealed bladery of the machine, the present machinery of Fate, the deus ex machina, so to speak, was against him. The bicycle, torn from this attractive young woman, grew heavier and heavier, and continually more unsteady.
And then as we proceeded up the beach, and the crowd gathered about us, eager and anxious for a recognition or a kind word of greeting oh, the repulsive and sickening libels and distorted caricatures of the human face divine upon which we looked! And as they evidently read the ill-concealed aversion in our countenances, they withdrew the half-proffered hand, and slunk back with hanging heads.
A few seconds afterward d'Artagnan also went out enveloped in a large cloak, which ill-concealed the sheath of a long sword. Mme.

D'Artagnan went straight to M. de Treville's.
