"Perhaps you'll come to the inn and have luncheon with us that is, if you are sure Doctor Ledyard did not send you here to spy on me." "I haven't seen him since I left America. My mother is with me; she's in a crack of the hills in Italy. She wanted to be alone.
"All right I carry one too," said the young man easily. "But you'll find it's time gained to hear what I've got to say." Mr. Spragg considered the vista of chimneys without speaking, and Moffatt continued: "I don't suppose you care to hear the story of my life, so I won't refer you to the back numbers.
Moffatt is at his wits' end. Young Clyde Huntter is on the carpet just now. Think of that match! think of what it would mean to Moffatt! There are times when I regret the club and cliff-dwelling age where women are concerned." "Now, now, my dear friend, please remember my sex." Helen ran from Richard to Ledyard.

I wish I could laugh like that. Some people have all the luck!"
