'It's useless for me to try to conceal the fact that my hair is a little on the auburn. You mustn't mind what Darragh says. We've had a good deal of hot weather lately and his brains have gone wrong.
Louisa Eleanora de Warrens was of the noble and ancient family of La Tour de Pit, of Vevay, a city in the country of the Vaudois. She was married very young to a M. de Warrens, of the house of Loys, eldest son of M. de Villardin, of Lausanne; there were no children by this marriage, which was far from being a happy one.
"Thinkest thou we can do that, my Phyllis, any better than now?" asked Sir Norman Hylton. "We can all try," said Amphillis, softly. "And God, our God, shall bless us."

For a minute I felt stingy; then I cussed myself for a mean old long-horn, and dived into my box. "'Here, take this! I says. 'It was my mother's! "'Oh, Red! You mustn't part with that! cried Loys, her eyes filling up. "'Don't waste time talking; I put through what I tackle.

What a diving into wannegans and a fetching out of good clothes there was. And trading of useful coats and things for useless but decorating silk handkerchers and things! And what a hair cutting and whisker trimming! "But Kyle was the man from the go in. And it was right it should be so. If ever two young people were born to make trouble for each other it was Kyle and Loys.
"Now monseigneur the grand master, you are wiser than I and will know how to act far better than I can instruct you, but, above all, I implore you come in all haste for without you we cannot make an ordinance.
