There is going to be some serious trouble here, I'll lay my last dollar on that? 'But if there is to be a burglary I should so like to see it, Dad, Nella pleaded. 'I've never seen a burglar caught red-handed.
The future hath no joys in store for us; and may bereave us of some of the few faint pleasures that still are ours. What then is left us old before our time but to banquet on the past? And are they not watered by our tears? The poet tells us "Nessun maggior dolore Che ricordarsi del tempo felice Nella miseria." But it is not so.
I did not think she could get the lid off." "She did, and somehow the case got kicked under the bed." "Naughty Nella!" said the contessa. "Oh, no," said Quarles. "Natural Nella. May I wash my hands?" Well, we had tea with the contessa, and I saw the smile which rewarded Christopher Quarles. I suppose he had earned it. "When did you first think of the child?" I asked him afterwards.
"I will speak to my brother about it myself," said Marietta. Indeed she thought it extremely likely that Giovanni would oblige her to speak of it within an hour. "You will only make trouble among the servants," she added. "Oh, as you please!" snorted Nella discontentedly. "I only tell you that I know who took it. That is all.

"Then it has been stolen," said Nella, and her face darkened wrathfully. "How is such a thing possible?" asked Marietta carelessly. "It must be somewhere."
Curiously enough, both Nella and her father, ardent democrats though they were, had been somehow impressed by the royalty and importance of the fever-stricken Prince impressed as they had never been by Aribert. They had both felt that here, under their care, was a species of individuality quite new to them, and different from anything they had previously encountered.

'You've got a bit of pluck, he said, 'but it won't help you. Why won't you let us pass?
Now, as Racksole considered in detail the particular affair of Reginald Dimmock, deceased, he was struck by one point especially, to wit: Why had Dimmock and Jules manoeuvred to turn Nella Racksole out of Room No. 111 on that first night? That they had so manoeuvred, that the broken window-pane was not a mere accident, Racksole felt perfectly sure.
As she did so her skirt caught a comb that lay on the edge of the table and swept it off, so that it fell upon the pavement with a dry rap.
