He sat upon one of the carved tables, teasing Ying, and selecting samples as if for a quartette of bridegrooms. Being bosom cronies of Mr. Cady, the four youths needed little urging. When they had gone in to be measured Kurtz said guardedly: "Whew! That's more stuff than I've sold in two weeks!" "A mere trifle," Bob grinned, happily. "Say, Kurtz, this is the life!
"Yes," said the fat girl. "I'm in a quartette with Mary Cox, Lluella Fairfax and Belle Tingley. Oh, you'll see plenty of us," said Heavy. "And I say! you're going to the Upede meeting to-night; aren't you?" "Why yes. Do you all belong?" "Our quartette? Sure," said the plump girl in her off-hand way. "We'll show you some fun. And I say!" "Well?" asked Ruth.
It was to escape others for a little longer and then to be yet again rediscovered by the great quartette of the mid-eighteenth century to slip in and out of hands during the later part of that century, and then to be all but finally established, in patterns for everlasting pursuance, by Miss Austen and by Scott.

A quartette of brilliant green rays, two of them due to helium, caught the eye; and they had companions too numerous to be easily counted. The hydrogen lines were broad and bright; C blazed, as Mr.
