"I have just the same enthusiasm for soldiers that my Wilfrid has for singers," she said; and it afforded Adela exquisite pleasure to hear her tell how that she had originally heard of the 'eccentric young Englishman, General Pierson's nephew, as a Lustspiel a comedy; and of his feats on horseback, and his duels, and his "he was very wicked over here, you know;" Lena laughed.
Gray's house party, the winter picnic in Upton Wood, and Anne Pierson's struggles to escape her unworthy father all contributed toward making the story stand out in the reader's mind. In "GRACE HARLOWE'S SOPHOMORE YEAR," the girl chums were found leading their class in athletics.
We want to think and decide things for ourselves, we want to own our consciences, we can't take things at second-hand any longer." Pierson's face darkened. "Ah!" he said, "to have lost faith is a grievous thing." "We're gaining charity," cried Gratian. "The two things are not opposed, my dear." "Not in theory; but in practice I think they often are. Oh, Dad! you look so tired.
Toward midnight I approached Madame Pierson's house; she was at the window. Seeing her there I began to tremble and tried to retrace my steps, but I was fascinated; I advanced gently and sadly and sat down beneath her window.
It wasn't till some time after that, that we found out we could see them beautifully from the bedroom window, by putting a buffet in an old rocking-chair that always stood there. And by four o'clock it was quite dark! After tea we all sat round the fire together the thought, I know, was still in Pierson's mind and mine whether it was in Tom's or not, I don't know, for he didn't say anything.
What do I care about Miss Pierson's costumes?" "You will care," replied Grace. "For if you don't instantly tell me where they are, I shall call the whole cast and expose you." "If you do, you will merely make yourself ridiculous," hissed Eleanor, her eyes blazing. "What grounds have you for such an accusation?"
For a half-moment there was quivering silence; then Van Landing spoke again. "There are some things I must attend to to-night. Early to-morrow I will come for you, Frances, and in Dr. Pierson's church we will be married. Herrick and Miss Davis are coming at one o'clock, and my wife must be there to receive them. And you, too, Carmencita you and your father.
"George, let the goat loose, just for to-night, to please me." Something in that voice, and in the gesture of her stretched-out arm moved George in a queer way, although, as Pierson had once said, he had no music in his soul. He loosed the goat. In the weeks which succeeded Pierson's departure, Gratian and George often discussed Noel's conduct and position by the light of the Pragmatic theory.

Your pal, JACK. Somewheres in France, March 9.
Very quickly the poor fellow recognized the long-bearded prophetical humbug as all that he claimed to be a possessor and teacher of all truth, and as God himself. Mills and Folger easily fell into the same pitiable foolery, on Pierson's introduction.
