At half-past six on the following day the great gong sounded through the entire upper school. Betty started up in some amazement, her sisters in some alarm. By-and-by a kind-looking woman, dressed as a sort of housekeeper or upper servant, entered the room.
I think perhaps his trouble must be mental some gnawing sorrow that keeps him awake at night. I don't mind driving Pleurisy where people know me and know that I do feed him occasionally, but it is disconcerting when I meet strangers to have kind-looking old ladies shake their heads at me.
He knew that Maizie found it difficult to be patient with him, and that therefore she was offering him and his sister to the kind-looking lady. "We like them pretty well, but we'd rather you'd have them," Maizie went on generously but with unswerving purpose. "And till you get used to children I'll come over every day and wash and dress them." Mrs. Reynolds' face was growing pinker and pinker.
"Wassums going to win great big championship against nasty rough strong man?" she said. "Such," said Vincent Jopp, "is my intention. It was kind of you, Luella, to trouble to come and watch me.

But she was an experienced traveller; and making her adieus with a degree of composure and certainty that quite reassured me, she took me by the hand and advanced to the stage as smilingly as though they had all invited her to enter.

He stood irresolute in the street, wondering to whom he ought to apply, and presently his eye was attracted to the window of a small baker's shop near. Through this he saw a kind-looking round-faced woman, who stood behind the counter knitting. Just in front of her there was, curled round, a sleek black cat, and she stopped in her work now and then to scratch its head gently with her knitting-pin.

The final touch to the heaping perfection of Christmas-in-everything for Mildred was that this Mr. Arthur Russell, good-looking, kind-looking, graceful, the perfect fiance, should be also "VERY well off."

Horace was much interested in the atlases and globes, upon the surface of which the land rose up higher than the water, and the deserts were powdered with sand.
