Rae quietly, with a wave of his hand toward the Captain. "This cheque of five pounds has evidently been altered to fifty pounds. The question is, by whom, Mr. Allan? Can you answer that?" Again Mr. Rae's eyes were searching the young man's face. "I have told you I remember nothing about this cheque." "Is it possible, Mr.
And Helene's just as much as it is ours! And besides," she added more briskly, "it's four o'clock now, and with graduation at eight and the dance afterwards, if we don't get our stuff packed up now, when in thunder shall we get it done?" Quite irrelevantly she began to laugh. Her laugh was perceptibly shriller than her speaking voice. "Say, Rae!" she confided.
Rae might have found relief in the conscious possession of more generous and humane instincts than those supposed to be characteristic of the members of his profession. Mr. Thomlinson, however, was anything but obdurate. He was eager to oblige, but he was helpless. The instructions he had received were simple but imperative, and he had gone to unusual lengths in suggesting to Mr.
On Lady Rae issuing from Cromwell's lodgings, she stood in the street, gazing around her for an instant, as if looking for some one whom she had expected to find waiting her, but who was not at the moment in sight. This was the case; but it was only for a moment that she was so detained.
Mockingly to the edge of her strong white teeth Rae Malgregor's tongue crept out in pink derision. "Bah!" she taunted. "What's 'nice'? That's the whole matter with you, Helene Churchill!

Two or three days afterwards, Charlie Marryat and his friend Peters were sitting beside Doctor Rae, when the latter said: "I hope that we sha'n't find the French in Madras, when we get there." "The French in Madras!" Charlie exclaimed in surprise. "Why, sir, there's no chance of that, is there?" "A very great chance," the doctor said. "Don't you know that they captured the place three years ago?"
I had been borrowing of him for some time." "As much as fifty pounds?" "I cannot tell. I did not keep count, particularly; Potts did that." The Captain snorted contemptuously. "Do you mean to say ?" he began. "Pardon me, Captain Cameron. Allow me," said Mr. Rae. "Now, Mr. Allan, do you think you owed him as much as the amount of that cheque?" "I do not know, but I think so."
Rae there, try to get that big fellow!" Now as we had all been most unsuccessful with the little "fellows," I had no hope whatever of getting the big one, still I tried, for he certainly was a beauty and looked very large as he came slowly along, carefully avoiding the stones.
I've been expecting this break-down for some days." "And-the-young-drug-store-clerk-the-week-before-that," Rae Malgregor resumed with sing-song monotony. Brusquely the Senior Surgeon stepped forward and taking the girl by her shoulders, jerked her sharply round to the light, and, with firm, authoritative fingers, rolled one of her eyelids deftly back from its inordinately dilated pupil.
