If my imaginary cousin had not told me the duchess had seen her fifty summers, I should have thought I was over-generous in giving her thirty; she has never known a winter, that duchess!" "Yes," said La Briere, "she is a cameo preserved because it is stone.
Two or three were seamed across with cracks, hastily recalled sentences to destruction; and here and there remained tokens of a draughtsman's over-generous struggle to confer upon some of the smooth-shaven faces additional manliness in the shape of sweeping moustaches, long beards, goatees, mutton-chops, and, in the case of one gentleman of a blond, delicate and tenor-like beauty, neck-whiskers; decorations in many instances so deeply and damply pencilled that subsequent attempts at erasure had failed of great success.
"You think we are right, Harley?" asked Egerton, with an irresolution that surprised all present. "I think," answered Harley, with a compassion for Randal that was almost over-generous, and yet with an equivoque on the words, despite the compassion, "I think whoever has served Audley Egerton never yet has been a loser by it; and if Mr.

"I'll tell him to-night but I do hate to. I wish Doro would not be so over-generous," and she crushed the money in the leather case and put it securely within the satchel.
