It seems to me, as I can't find anything unusual down here, that it might pay us to look up there." He was soon followed by the others, Mr. Fisher going last, however, with an appearance of considerable nonchalance.

Hátszegi remained in a brown study for several moments, and began biting his lips. The countess sat down at the piano with the most amiable nonchalance as if she gave not another thought to what she had been speaking about. "If only I had not had the misfortune to be robbed!" cried Hátszegi at last.
Lulu came quietly forward and took it. "I'm not afraid, Grandpa Dinsmore," she said in low, even tones. "Good-evening, Professor Manton." "Good-evening," he replied, with a stiff nod.
