Among strangers and living humbly, almost meanly, they neither made nor received calls nor had invitations to evening entertainments; and herein lay Mr. Ridley's safety. It was on his social side that he was weakest.
He spoke hurriedly and with the manner of one who felt himself in imminent danger and looked anxiously for a way of escape. "To do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly before him; he requires nothing more," was the calmly spoken reply. A light broke into Mr. Ridley's face. "You cannot be just and merciful if you touch the accursed thing, for that would destroy your power to be so.
"I come from Ridley's agency-office," I answered, "about a situation as English teacher in a school in France." "Be seated, miss," she said, pointing me to a stiff, high-backed chair, whither the little girl followed me, stroking with her hand the soft seal-skin jacket I was wearing.

I've been up against him, and so has Bull; ain't you, Nathan?" "Poker stories are barred, I believe," said the Senator coldly. Mr. Ridley's face was a study. "Well, I'll be damned!" he muttered, with his mouth full of potatoes. "Let's change the subject; there are lots of other things to talk about. I like war stories, myself.

Doctor Kline regarded him for a few moments, and then said: "This is unfortunate, doctor, and I would advise a postponement until to-morrow.
She remained leaning on her arm and listening for some moments, while an almost frightened look came into her face. "What time is it?" she asked. "After eleven o'clock," replied the nurse. All at once the storm seemed to have awakened into a wild fury. More loudly it rushed and roared and dashed its sand-like snow against the windows of Mrs. Ridley's chamber.
The man who has laboured from his youth upwards can endure with his arms. It is he who has had leisure to shoot, to play cricket, to climb up mountains and to handle a racket, that can walk.
