I keep one servant, and one only. I do not waste money on motor-cars or gardens or antiquated mansions like this. I give to the Lord's poor. George, I am a very happy woman. 'I am glad to hear it, said Lennox. 'Since you entered my house, I should not have known it but for your remark. 'Ah, indeed, I have cause for sorrow in your ridiculous house, surrounded by your absurd children' 'Agnes!
"And you have succeeded, Sir Hugh," declared Trendall. "Indeed you have!" Shortly afterwards the excitement among the crowd waiting outside in the light of the head-lamps of the motor-cars was increased by the appearance of the doctor, escorted by two Maldon police officers in plain clothes.
A few illustrations will suffice to show the absence of all foundation for the charges against the Belgians; charges, we must remember, which the German soldiery believed, and which convinced them they were performing a holy task at Louvain, Tirlemont, Dinant, etc. South of Cambrai a column of German motor-cars was attacked by a company of French cyclists.
Count Paul motioned the footman aside and stood bareheaded while Sylvia took her place in the victoria. As he sat down by her side he suddenly observed, "My brother-in-law does not like motor-cars," and Sylvia felt secret, shame-faced gratitude to the Duc d'Eglemont, for, thanks to this prejudice of his, the moments now being spent by her alone with Count Paul were trebled.
Snow was fluttering down over the city when Annie, with Norma, and a limousine full of properties, reached the place at noon; motor-cars were wheeling and crowding in the side street, and it seemed to Norma thrilling to enter so confidently at the big, dirty, sheet-iron door lettered: "STAGE DOOR.

That accounts for the other six so far as they can be accounted for. 'He's been in hospital three times, put in the Mole; 'and as for the fines he's had to pay, it's simply awful to think of.
Turning round a few yards further, carriages and motor-cars, and all Rome, with its unfinished new quarters nearest, stretched under us. March 3. Day before yesterday with dear Paso along Via Ostiense.
Motor-cars have somewhat revived the life of the old inns on the great coaching roads, but it is only the larger and more important ones that have been aroused into a semblance of their old life. The cars disdain the smaller establishments, and run such long distances that only a few houses along the road derive much benefit from them.
The qualities that are making them masters of the world, unfit them for slighter and less serious pursuits. The Future is for them, the kingdom of elevators, of telephones, of motor-cars, of flying-machines. Let them not idly hark back, misled by effete traditions, to the old European dream of the kingdom of heaven.
"How old is he?" asked the girl. "Old! Why, he's only a boy, but he's got all a man's ways with him he's American, they're like that. I've heard say the American children order their own mothers and fathers about and drive their own motor-cars and gamble on the Stock Exchange."
