Gwen was not quite happy about old Mrs. Picture's inner soul. How about a possible cruel corner in it? The old lady seemed to suspect this question's existence, unexpressed. Apology in her voice hinted at need of forgiveness pleaded against condemnation. "But," she said, after a faltered word or two, short of speech, "you do not know, my dear, how bad a man can be. How should you?"
"Do you think Maggie so blind?" "The question isn't of what I think. The question's of the conviction that guides the Prince and Charlotte who have better opportunities than I for judging." The Colonel again wondered. "Are you so very sure their opportunities are better?" "Well," his wife asked, "what is their whole so extraordinary situation, their extraordinary relation, but an opportunity?"
"As my father would have liked to see me fight, if he had been there?" "Well, sir, that question's a puzzler. You see, fathers is fathers, and, as far as ever I've been able to find out, they don't like their boys to fight.

"Of course, if your lordship think the question's not important I won't press it against your lordship's desire.
Lloyd, he would have a hundred prying question's to ask, as if I we not competent to judge of the character of my own friends and acquaintances?" Within a week the call of Mrs. Lloyd was reciprocated by Mrs. Emerson; not in consequence of feeling drawn toward that lady, but she had promised to return the friendly visit, and must keep her word.

"Motion to adjourn not debatable," he said, and then mumbled rapidly: "The question's the motion to adjourn. All in favor say Aye all opposed, No the ayes seem to have it the ayes have " "Mr. Chairman; I call for a count of the ayes and noes!" It was Scarborough, standing, completely self-possessed.
'Then, Paul stormed, 'what's your opinion good for? The old man's eyes flashed, and he made a motion as if to rise. He controlled himself, however, and reached out a hand to the hob for the clay he had relinquished a minute or two before. 'The question's fair, he said; 'the question's fair pairfectly fair, Paul. I misliked the manner of it, but the question's fair.
