Rastall-Retford stooped and looked under the table. "It is not on the floor," he said. "I suppose it must have been missing from the pack before I dealt." Mrs. Rastall-Retford threw down her cards and rose ponderously. It offended her vaguely that there seemed to be nobody to blame. "I shall go to bed," she said. Peter stood before the fire and surveyed Eve as she sat on the sofa.
Brimberly ponderously, "I'm reether inclined to think I made it a D if it wasn't D it was F nat'ral. But if it's all the same to you, I'll accompany myself at the piano-forty." "What," exclaimed Mr. Stevens, emptying and refilling his glass, seeing which Mr. Jenkins did the same, "what do you play, Brim?" "By hear, sir only by hear," said Mr.

"Yet, while we have been in session this evening, I have been wondering why it would not be a good plan to promote scholarship at once by summarily forbidding football." "Even for the balance of this present season?" asked Mr. Chesbritt, ponderously. "Even for the balance of this season," confirmed Mr. Stone. There were murmurs of approval.
