Sir Guy is chaperoning a strange-looking party of men and women, who have been very noisy since luncheon-time. Captain Lovell hopes "I admire his mare she has a look of Brilliant from here, Miss Coventry. 'Baby Larkins' of the Lancers is to ride; and The Baby will do her justice if any one can. He's far the best of the young ones now."

There were no visitors about when I arrived, and I thought I would have the coffeeroom all to myself at luncheon-time; but presently there came in a pleasant-faced old gentleman in knickerbockers. He bowed to me and then took a place at the table. He said that it was a fine day and I agreed with him, adding that the mountains were very beautiful.

At that hour it was luncheon-time in well-regulated households, and it was in the last degree unlikely that Mrs. Gallilee could be the visitor. Getting within view of the front of the house, he saw a man standing on the doorstep. Advancing a little nearer, he recognised Lemuel. "Hullo!" cried the elder brother. "Hullo!" answered the younger, like an echo.

She caught herself resisting a temptation to spy on their conversations; she watched Kate's face for tell-tale expression whenever Bertram's name came up in their luncheon-time chats. Kate usurped all the finer prerogatives of the nurse. Hers it was to arrange the sick-room, to put finishing touches on bed and table, to feed him at his meals.

"My time will be fully occupied. I wish you good morning, Mr. Walmsley. I have an appointment at a quarter to twelve. You can let me know your final decision at luncheon-time." She left the room. Mr. Bundercombe, Eve, and I exchanged glances. "How far away did you say your place was, Paul?" Mr. Bundercombe asked.

After lying down he had taken a pull at the bedclothes and had arranged the corner of the sheet over his mouth and ear. The Queen gave him up; but she was not willing to wait even till luncheon-time or to trust Smith to deliver the invitation. Kalliope shared her impatience. "Go row," she said, "quick quick slick." "Slick" was a word which she had recently learned from Smith.

At last his wife said that it would soon be luncheon-time, and then he went to the study. Some ten minutes afterward he wandered into the dining-room, where she was arranging some flowers. He seemed taken aback at seeing her, but said, after a moment's thought, that the study door was locked and he could not find the key. This astonished her, as she had dusted the room herself that morning.

"Never knew father to do a thing like this before. If it's a joke," his fingers felt the seal of envelope No. 4, "I might as well find it out at once. Still, father never would joke with a fellow's promise the way he asked it of me. 'My word of honor' that's putting it pretty strong. I'll see it through, of course. My, but I'm getting hungry! It must be near luncheon-time."

The quantity of clean cotton is about 85 lbs. per acre, and of seed-cotton 345 lbs. per acre. But to return to my narrative, luncheon-time came in due course, and as I was spreading out my napkin on my knees, I reminded the person who had whispered those mysterious words in my ear, of the promise he had made. "Yes," said he, as he cautiously looked round, "I will tell you his story.

What could there possibly have been in the appearance of Louise to have brought a look like that into the face of his fellow-guest? The two men did not meet again until luncheon-time, Anglicized into a one-o'clock meal for their benefit. Already seated at the table they found a short fair man, in the costume of a pedestrian tourist.
