And though Grandfather was old and gray-haired, yet his heart leaped with joy whenever little Alice came fluttering, like a butterfly, into the room.

While fortune thus smiled upon the cradle of Louis de Buade, some important favours were denied.
"As I said, Phil won't condescend to consider poor me till he has his fifteen thousand dollars a year, and that won't be for some time, I think, considering he is too well-bred to work hard." "But seriously, you will Oh, I don't know how to put it. You will let me be your playmate, even as much as Phil is, while we're still " "Carl, I've never played as much with any one as with you.
