Some of these were making feeble efforts with garden engines, sending out little jets of water which seemed only to feed the flames as if the water had been oil, while others were trying to adjust a fire escape, deposited in the stables years ago, in the reign of Sir Reginald's father, and out of working order from long disuse.
and she fainted on Reginald's breast! He continued his narration in excited dumb-show his lips moving as though he were speaking. A prairie on fire is one of the wildest and grandest sights that can be possibly imagined. These fires occur of course in the summer when the grass is dry as tinder and the flames rush and roar over the prairie in a manner frightful to behold.
He reached the Shades a few minutes before seven, and waited outside till his friend arrived. He had not to wait long, for Blandford and a couple of companions drove up punctually in a hansom all of them, to Reginald's horror, being arrayed in full evening dress. "Hullo, Cruden, you've turned up then," said Blandford. "What, not in regimentals? You usen't to be backward in that way.
The funeral passed off in a very pleasant manner, nothing occuring to mar the harmony of the occasion. By a happy thought of Reginald's mother, the wives walked to the grave twenty abreast, which rendered that part of the ceremony thoroughly impartial.

He always spoke the name with a little pause before it, as if it were something sacred. Rex had told him to call him by it the day before when he had started in to address him as "Mr. Pell." All of Reginald's striving after premature manhood had been left in that past which preceded his experiences in the hotel at New York.
She has gone to Reginald's Brott's rooms." Mr. Sabin smiled. "Indeed. I have just come from Dorset House myself. The Duke has supplied me with a highly entertaining account of his sudden awakening. The situation must have been humorous." Her eyes twinkled. "It was really screamingly funny. The Duke had on his house of Lords manner, and we all sat round like a lot of naughty children.
He laughed softly to himself at this new idea. It did not somehow hurt him as he thought it would, this sinecure he had accepted. Could he not make it up, as Ursula said, "work for the town in other ways without pay, since the town had given him pay without work?" A genial feeling of toleration came over Reginald's mind. Why should he have made such a fuss about it?
