Johnstone's, and accounted for the falling off in profit by a feigned tale of brisker competition among their Dutch rivals an imposture in which the agent helped her, telling the same story in writing; for Mrs. Johnstone, whose eye for a bargain continued as sharp as ever, had actually begun to suspect the lass of robbing her.
It may be that some of the climacteric symptoms are due to the loss of this substance from the system." Arthur Johnstone's theory of the symptoms of the menopause is that the lining membrane of the uterus atrophies and becomes old cicatricial tissue, and sinks into quiet decay.
It took a good deal to disturb Brook Johnstone's young sleep, but he did not sleep well that night. As for Clare, when she was alone, she regretted that she had not just nodded kindly to him, and nothing more, when she had said good-night. She knew perfectly well that he expected something of the sort, and that it would have been natural, and quite harmless, without any possibility of consequence.
Dalrymple so much appreciated Johnstone's work that he named the outlet of one of our great sugar districts and a most beautiful stream after him. I believe there is only one copy of Dalrymple's narrative of his expedition extant, and that is in our Parliamentary library.

Only Berthe's determined attack on the granting of the baronetcy in London, and her own "lightning disappearance" had saved her from Ram Lal's cupidity. Master of the secrets of a dozen Eastern poisons, the artful confederate of her dark retinue in the silver bungalow, Ram Lal would have gladly worked Hugh Johnstone's will for his red gold.
He certainly deserves one." But the Chief was very wise. As he glanced down the mark list he realised that Johnstone's marks could hardly be due to honest work. But the Chief was also very tactful. He thought, on the whole, that in case of such general merit it would be invidious to single any individual out for special distinction, and, of course, he could not give prizes to everyone.
And Justine gazed at her charge in surprise, as the beautiful Nadine bent her head to greet her sister flowers. The resolute Major Hawke, at his cheerful breakfast, was busied with thoughts of the coming arrival of Hugh Johnstone's secret foe.
