My manly strength is sore impaired for I have lost my heart; * How many griefs upon my griefs have I been doomed to dree!

And now, gentlemen, we're the Cerebread factory from now on. Keep all your help; we'll need 'em. Go on with Certina till we're sold out; but no more advertising on it. And, all of you, from now on, think, dream, and live Cerebread. Meeting's adjourned." The staff filed out, chattering excitedly. "He'll put it over." "You can't beat the Chief." "Is'n't he a wonder!"
Besides, I must go arter your meeting's over an watch the 'ouse till I see the gal an' make sure that it's her, for Sally may have bin mistook, you know." "You don't know her name, do you?" asked Robin; "it wasn't Edie Willis, now, was it?" "'Ow should I know 'er name?" answered the Slogger.

Before we separated, however, we thought it well to read our Yearly Meeting's Epistle, which was acceptable to all.
"Awkward, of course," said Samoval, who had never for a moment been oblivious of that enactment, and who had been carefully building upon it. "But you should have considered it before committing yourself so irrevocably." Sir Terence steadied himself. He recovered his truculence. "Irrevocable or not, it will just have to be revocable. The meeting's impossible." "I do not see the impossibility.
"Suppose, my dear, we have a game of poker." "Agreed," laughed his wife. "This meeting's adjourned, Colonel Estcourt. Will you join us." He shook his head. "No," he said, "I'm going out on the terrace to smoke." "And meditate on the Unknown?" queried the little American. "Perhaps you'll see her at her window. I wish you luck."
"If meeting's out she knows, or she mistrusts," said Ben, taking the matter seriously. "We're going over to the Scott school-house to meeting. Aunt Betsey'll like that, anyhow." They all laughed, for Ben and the Fleming children had long been friends.
"I must not confuse my public. Just as a favor to me, Ralph, say nothing about it." "Well, if you'd rather I didn't.... Are you going to cover this meeting at Hunters' Hall, tonight, Walt?" he asked me. "Would I miss it?" He frowned. "I could handle that myself," he said. "I'm afraid this meeting's going to get a little rough." I shook my head. "Let's face it, Dad," I said.
William Douglas, one of the leaders of our bar, as all the chairman's hearers well knew, would explain the situation and formulate a plan for the meeting's consideration.
