"I think I came for conversation," was Warkworth's laughing reply, as he looked first at his hostess and then at the circle.

A few hot words ensued and rough gestures, and a few scratches, which kept Monsieur de Chavigny waiting, and that is all." "Absolutely all," repeated Montresor.
General Fergus, as we walked home, was rather silent and bearish I could not flatter myself that he had any friendly intentions towards me in his mind. But Montresor was more than kind, and gave me some fresh opportunities of which I was very glad to avail myself. Well, we shall know soon.
