"I was just examining this palm," he continued, indicating the misbegotten plant before our door, "which is the largest specimen I have yet observed in Califoarnia." There were four or five larger within sight. But where was the use of argument?
Hester repelled the offered medicine, at the same time gazing with strongly marked apprehension into his face. "Wouldst thou avenge thyself on the innocent babe?" whispered she. "Foolish woman!" responded the physician, half coldly, half soothingly. "What should ail me to harm this misbegotten and miserable babe?
I am not with the party of the Bishop, nor yet am I with Sir J.S., or Sir A.C. I abide in the Limbo of Vanity, as a temporary arrangement, to study the seamy side of Indian politics and morality, to examine misbegotten wars and reforms with the scalpel, Stars of India with the spectroscope, and to enjoy the society of half-a-dozen amusing people to whom the Empire of India is but a wheel of fortune.

"He asked papa if it was true that you were going to this afternoon?" "And what were you doing?" Dr. Galbraith asked astutely. "We were in the drawing room," Angelica answered, "trying to find out from a lady why she tied herself up so tight in the middle." "And so you came off here to see?" "Yes," said Diavolo.
