Then what emotions have you had, unimprisonable rich; or what do you know of active living and of adventure? In the inn there had been a fat jolly-looking man and two official-looking people with white caps dining at another table. I had taken no notice of them at the time.
At last, with a sigh, she laid the instrument against her knee and gazed out of the window. As she sat lost in her dream a dream of the desert a servant entered with letters. One caught her eye. It was from Egypt from her cousin Lacey. Her heart throbbed violently, yet she opened the official-looking envelope with steady fingers.
"If I answer quick you'll both cast loose but the longer I keep you in suspense the longer you'll lay hold," was his quizzical retort. "We won't stir. We won't budge. Tell us." For answer Captain Stewart drew an official-looking document from his blouse pocket and waved it high above the girls' heads. A series of ecstatic squeals arose from them.
I entered the room on the right, which was a bleak and official-looking apartment, apparently the reception-room where parents held interviews with the instructor of youth, or tore themselves from the parting embraces of homesick sons at the beginning of a new term.
Then she saw in the pocket of his light summer coat a packet of letters folded inside a newspaper, and there was one long, official-looking envelope that stood above the others far enough that she could see "Miss K " of the address. Instantly she decided that it was her answer from the School Director of Walden and she was tremblingly eager to see it.
Mary, though sympathising with Ned, could not from her heart say that she was sorry. For the last two days she had been expecting to hear that he would have to go off immediately. Next morning the postman was seen coming up to the door with an official-looking letter in his hand, and another of ordinary appearance; Ned ran out to receive them.
She put a withered little old hand, very like a sparrow's claw, upon the window-sash to shut it hastily, and then, too proud to deceive, turned boldly to meet her fate. Mrs. Pearson, on the lookout at her half-open door saw the official-looking document handed to her. "It's her notice to leave," she said in an awed whisper to herself.
One morning Captain Rymer and his family were seated at breakfast; Mrs Rymer had just poured out a cup of tea, and Mary had handed it to him with a slice of toast which she had carefully buttered, when the post-bag was brought into the room. He opened it, and drew forth a long official-looking envelope. "No other letter?" asked his wife.
In the receptacle lay a pile of greenbacks held together with a paper band. There was also an envelope, but not the envelope the girl had pictured. It was larger, longer, wider, and thicker. It seemed to be made of coarse linen, and instead of the dainty gold seals with the monogram there were five official-looking red ones. Clo's heart contracted. It seemed too bad to be true.
He quickly stumped into the drawing-room, and having made his salaams to the ladies, produced an official-looking document from his pocket. Jack had followed him eagerly into the room. "Here, my boy," said he, "is a letter from my friend Lascelles, your old captain. He says let me see what he says.
