To worship, to love, is exaltation duty is labor, but if I may not labor, what am I to do?" Again she opened her small hands with astonishment and inquiry; her eyes were flashing, her lips trembling. Darvid, with marks of disagreeable feeling on his face, reached for his watch. "I have no time," said he; "I must go to the club."

Peregrine was quite captivated by their affable behaviour and the vivacity of their discourse; and, after having been honoured with particular marks of consideration, took his leave, fully determined to cultivate such a valuable acquaintance.

They answered through the two Mazitu that they had nowhere to go, and did not wish to fall again into the power of Hassan, of whom they spoke literally with shudders, pointing the while to their scarred backs and the marks of the slave yokes upon their necks.

It appears that the captain took up his coat, and discovered another hole in the shoulder, with the same marks of blood. "This is quite a dream," said the captain, talking to himself "I've no wound, and yet the newspapers say that I was wounded twice. Cross! Cross! Where is Cross?"
