I have told you that I am making some little stay here, and as you have given me so much satisfaction I might have been induced to come and see you several times again before leaving." She laughed, and answered: "That is quite true; but I am an honest woman, and I am bound to give you the message that is given to me for you, even when it goes against my interest."
Of course she never would. Yet it would be pleasant to do so. Probably he smiled often at home, even laughed sometimes. How she would like to hear him laugh, just once. He was a very fascinating person, purely as a character study, of course, nothing more.
"Old Martin indeed! He is making a shameless pretence of ignorance, Inspector Dickson." "Disgraceful bluff I call it," cried the Inspector. "Who can it be?" said Cameron. "I really don't know any nurse. Of course it can't be Mandy Miss Haley?" He laughed a loud laugh almost of derision as he made the suggestion. "Ah, he's got it!" cried the nurse, clapping her hands. "As if he ever doubted."
But why do you ask?" he continued, drawing her head down upon his shoulder and looking playfully into her eyes; "are you trying to hypnotize me?" Kate laughed merrily and shook her head. "I'm afraid I wouldn't find you a good subject," she said; then added, slowly, as her face grew serious: "Do you know, I believe I was hypnotized to-night by that dreadful Mr. Walcott.
"There isn't," said Max. "He is coming over to congratulate us to-morrow." "Max!" She opened her eyes wide and lifted her head. "Max, you don't mean " "Yes, I do," said Max imperturbably. "Why do you suppose I came tearing down here to-night, leaving Kersley to kill all my patients as well as his own?" "Not surely to see me?" said Olga, wonderingly. He laughed grimly. "No. It was to see Noel.
"I guess he won't bother us again," said Bob, returning to Welton. The latter laughed, a trifle ashamed of his anger. "Those fellows give me the creeps," he said, "like cats do some people.

She would make him so ugly that he would not quickly win the heart of the new-comer. Away with that Samsonian strength, down to the last solitary hair! This thought lent a merciless power to her scissors. And when Lorand's head was closely shaven, he was indeed curious to see. It looked so very funny that he laughed at himself when he turned to the glass. The girl too laughed with him.
I have held my peace, and I keep my commission in my pocket." I looked at him amazed that he should tell me this. He read my look, and said: "Yes, you are my confidant in this. I do not fear you. Your enemy is bound in honour, your friend may seek to serve himself." Again he laughed.
Well, when I was in there this afternoon the wind blew the door shut and Hey?" "I I never said nothin'," panted Kyan. "Yes, it blew to, the lock clicked, and there I was. If I hadn't had the other key in my pocket I don't know's I wouldn't have been in there yet. That would have been a pretty mess, wouldn't it! He! he! he!" She laughed shrilly.
"Now, isn't that nice," answered Aunt Effie and she didn't seem one bit surprised or amused or anything that grown folks sometimes are, "and who am I?" "Oh, will you play too?" cried Mary Jane clapping her hands happily. "To be sure I will," laughed the real Aunt Effie, "that's what I came upstairs for."
