He heard Julian sigh to himself when she had done. He observed Julian after a moment's serious consideration, and a moment's glance backward at the stranger in the poor black clothes lift his head with the air of a man who had taken a sudden resolution. "Bring me that card directly," he said to the servant. His tone announced that he was not to be trifled with. The man obeyed.

The precepts of eloquence, which he had hitherto practised on fancied topics of declamation, were more usefully applied to excite or to assuage the passions of an armed multitude: and although Julian, from his early habits of conversation and literature, was more familiarly acquainted with the beauties of the Greek language, he had attained a competent knowledge of the Latin tongue.

In a moment Mrs. Brigg appeared, went to Cuckoo and muttered in her ear: "Mr. Haddison wants to come in. I told him you was busy." "Oh," said Cuckoo, "I say wait," and then to the doctor, "It's him.

The other threatened to relate their little dealing to Ardea, and he did so." "And Peppino was angry?" asked Dorsenne, shaking his head. "That is not like him."
