That man Lieders, whom you saw, is worth a good many thousand dollars; my father invested his savings for him." "You are one of the philanthropists, aren't you, Mr. Lossing, who are trying to elevate the laboring classes?" "Not a bit of it, sir. I shall never try to elevate the laboring classes; it is too big a contract.
The tears rose to the clergyman's eyes; he tried to wink them away, then he tried to brush them away with a quick rub of his fingers, then he sprang up and walked to the window, his back to Harry. Directly he was facing the young man again, and speaking. "You must excuse me, Mr. Lossing; since my sickness a little thing upsets me." "Mr.
Our guard, or Lossing, as, in imitation of Miss Jenrys and her aunt, I was learning to call him, was now becoming convalescent, and while he had not yet returned to his duties as Columbian Guard, which he had assured me he meant soon to do, he was beginning to go about by night and by day, as his strength increased, quite regardless, seemingly, of the fact that he had been attacked once, and had every reason to think the act might be repeated in some new fashion.
"I want you to see an armoire that he has carved, it is up in our exhibition room." Armorer said, "You seem to get on very well with your working people, Mr. Lossing." "I think we generally get on well with them, and they do well themselves, in these Western towns.

Her face was long, with square chin and high cheek-bones, and thin, firm lips; yet she was comely, because of her lustrous black hair, her clear, gray eyes, and her charming, fair skin. She had another gift: everything about her was daintily neat; at first glance one said, "Here is a person who has spent pains, if not money, on her toilet." By this time Tilly was entering the Lossing Building.
Right here it is interesting to note that in 1866 Lossing wrote of the Hudson River Railway that "more than a dozen trains each way pass over portions of the road in the course of twenty-four hours." Nevis is little more than a cross-roads.
I had persuaded Lossing to remain out of sight, and had myself viewed Voisin's departure from afar, and when I reported the fact Lossing exclaimed, 'Masters, this must end! That man must not be permitted to visit Miss Jenrys after this! 'Rest easy, I answered him.
Lossing is more afraid of a reputation for generosity than of the small-pox." The older man looked at Harry with glistening eyes of admiration; with what Christian virtues of humility he was endowing that embarrassed young man, it is painful to imagine. The dean's eyes twinkled above his handkerchief, which hid his mouth, as he rose to make his farewells. He shook hands, warmly.
