"My name's Osborne," said Georgy, and was fingering in his own pockets for dollars, and just about to make a trial, when the Major, in his uniform, and Jos, en Marquis, from the Court ball, made their appearance.
"I don't believe in two worlds," said Katie promptly. "It's not a democratic view of things. It's all one world." "Your Miss Osborne and the fifty cents a day girls all one world? I am afraid," laughed Ann tremulously, "that even the 'underlying principles of life' would have a hard time making them one." Even on the river it was not yet cool.
It had seemed to him that he could take no such step without showing his hostility to Colonel Osborne. They walked on along the broad path together, and the Colonel was between them. "I hope you think it satisfactory, about Sir Rowley," he said. "Beggars must not be choosers, you know, Colonel Osborne. I felt a little disappointed when I found that we were not to see them till February next."

"I have already had good proof of your singleness of purpose," she replied.

I ran toward him, and to my surprise I saw a vein of gold, which, at a superficial calculation, must be worth a million dollars. We danced about for joy. Very soon Osborne, our third companion, came.
Osborne. Mrs. Morgan is sending up his directly. You hardly sate down at dinner-time, sir, you thought my mistress wanted something. 'Ay! I remember now. No! I won't have any more.
