'I thought, said Valetta, sagaciously, 'no good could come of running after that stupid Miss Constance. 'Who can't pull a cracker, and screams at a daddy long-legs, added Fergus. 'But, mamma, what shall we do? said Gillian. 'I came away because Uncle Regie told us, and Constance was crying so terribly; but what is poor Miss Hacket to do?
Gresley, "and that he need not be afraid, his aunt shall never come back again. When I saw his little arm I felt I could never trust Hester in the house again." As Mrs. Gresley spoke she felt she was making certainty doubly sure that the woman of whom she was jealous would return no more. "Regie cry till his 'ead ache because you say Miss Gresley no come back," said Fräulein, looking at Mrs.
I will speak to mother. Quick, Regie." Regie rushed curveting out of the room. The Bishop followed more slowly, and went into the drawing-room where Mr. and Mrs. Gresley were sitting by the fireless hearth. The drawing-room fire was never lit till two o'clock. "Regie goes with me of his own free will," he said; "so that is settled. He will be quite safe with me, Mrs. Gresley."
As a finish to this reference to the Tobacco Régie in Persia, I may mention it is believed that, had the company started as ordinary traders, they, having the command of ready money, would have succeeded well.
The government was ever in need of money and to secure the same violated its agreements by seizing certain revenues to pledge them to local merchants for advances, and by conniving at customs irregularities.

The European performers, dressed in the latest and most startling Paris creations, flirt and flitter among the audience seated round on dainty marble-topped bamboo tables, inhaling, in the case of Madame, a dainty "Regie," or if Bey or Effendi, a Tshibuk or Narghile, gravely drawing on the amber mouthpiece and slowly exhaling the perfumed smoke.
It was mamma who always took her everywhere where he was; and how she could stand it, I don't know! He never flirted with her, Regie." The next few years of my life seemed to whirl by. They were very happy ones. My dear father lived, and our mutual affection only grew stronger as time went on.
A distant whoop distracted their attention, and they saw Regie galloping towards them, imitating a charger, while Fräulein and the two little girls followed. Regie stopped short before Rachel, and looked suspiciously at her. "Where is Uncle Dick?" he said. "I don't know," said Rachel, reddening, in spite of herself, and her eyes falling guiltily before her questioner.
