Say something patriotic and about your determination to protect the interests of your government, and all that." Gordon bit the end of his pencil impatiently, and waited.

"Well, Miss Edie, he's kind o' quar," said Hannibal, "I'se jes done satisfied he's quar."
"I trust you will not do that." "You would not have me yield to the flattery of a prince's notice what I refuse to the solicitations of a friend, would you?"

He had another patient in the village, and so drove over there in the carriage which had brought him from the station.

"Isabel!" said her cousin, suddenly turning to her, "have they his oath for the same?" "Whose, Custance? my Lord of Kent?" Custance nodded impatiently. "Oh, ay."
