"I don't see why you always " "Hush, they'll hear you," cautioned Grace. "Let's pretend we don't see them. Hurry up! I've got a quarter, and I'll treat you to sodas. Come on in Pierson's drug store." "Too late!" moaned Billy, in mock-tragic tones. "They are waving to us we can't be too rude."
"Why do you think she is in distress, Christy?" asked his father. "She opened fire on the Leopard, after she had picked up the boat containing Major Pierson's party, and Captain Pecklar and I gave her a shot in return, which went through her bow and made a big hole. She stopped her wheels then, and since that she has been out of the fight."
The bright oblong seemed to break and spread, tilted down below the level of the roofs; and suddenly the heavens flared, as if some huge jug of crimson light had been flung out on them. Something turned over in Pierson's heart; he flung up his hand to his eyes. "The poor men in it!" he said. "How terrible!" Noel's voice answered, hard and pitiless: "They needn't have come. They're murderers!"
Olivia and Pierson naturally had known, but neither had had the courage to tell him. Scarborough was in Pierson's room. He lowered the paper from in front of his face after a few minutes. "I see Pauline has married and gone abroad," he said. "Yes, so I heard from Olivia," replied Pierson, avoiding Scarborough's eyes.
I did not like the service very well, and I thought I should like the navy better.

"Then Major Pierson is no longer in the army?" added the captain.
You never saw him drunk or off his balance or merry in any way; he simply and slowly soaked himself till his insides were like sponges dipped in the stuff. And Pierson's not the only man in my circle who has gone out like that; and as they went so will others go; strong and well Saturday to the casual eye, and dead Monday.
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.
So in the cheeriest daintiest way Rose was made much of by both brother and sister. Lady Helen chatted of gowns and music and people, whisked Rose and Agnes off to this party and that, brought fruit and flowers to Mrs. Leyburn, made pretty deferential love to Catherine, and generally, to Mrs. Pierson's disgust, became the girls' chief chaperon in a fast-filling London. Meanwhile, Mr.
It was Pierson's favourite piece of music, bringing him, as it were, a view of heaven, of devotional blue air where devout stars were shining in a sunlit noon, above ecstatic trees and waters where ecstatic swans were swimming. "Queer world, Mr. Pierson! Fancy those boys having to go back to barrack life after listening to that! What's your feeling? Are we moving back to the apes?
"Kill and be damned," replied Pierson, cool and disdainful. "You're a coward." Scarborough's fingers closed on Pierson's throat. Then flashed into his mind that warning which demands and gets a hearing in the wildest tempest of passion before an irrevocable act can be done.
