"Suit yourself, friend," returned Morrison, and he pulled down the heavy shutter screening the array of bottles. Bergstein left with a brusque good-night and walked slowly up the road. He had not told Morrison all he knew. Trading horses was not the Jew's only business; he was equally adept in buying and selling timber-lands and the hiring of men.
She would do everything, anything to conquer him; and yet, no come what might not everything. Sooner would she succumb than betray him as the thief or reveal what she had discovered in the viridarium. She had promised to keep the secret; and she would repay the father's kindness by screening the son from this disgrace. How beautiful, how noble had Orion's image been in her heart.
Miss West did not appear, and I was grateful that to my sleeplessness the curse of sea-sickness had not been added. Without asking permission of anybody, Wada arranged a sleeping place for himself in a far corner of the big after-room, screening the corner with a solidly lashed wall of my trunks and empty book boxes.
I repeated to myself; "ay, the words are probably true," for on looking up, I saw the sun had dissevered its screening cloud, her countenance was transfigured, a smile shone in her eyes a smile almost triumphant; it seemed to say "I am glad you have been forced to discover so much of my nature; you need not so carefully moderate your language.

She could not abandon her father she might abandon Hubert; but, strange mystery of a woman's heart, she could not love him less. What she could do she knew not.
"Here is the black duck," responded the hunter, stepping ashore and drawing his cub out from under some screening boughs in the bow of the boat.
Almost every morning dense mists hang upon the river, screening everything from view until the sun, slowly gaining power, presently dispels the fog and reveals the beauty of the scene. Very beautiful indeed are some of these panoramas disclosed in the early sunlight.
Now, 'twixt Montcroix and the chateau there lies a good league, and to make matters worse, as I galloped furiously back to Canaples, an evil chance led me to mistake the way and pursue a track that brought me out on the very banks of the river, with a strong belt of trees screening the chateau from sight, and defying me to repair my error by going straight ahead.
My hands were cold and trembling; but with Barbara's aid I decked me out in one of the gay gowns which had been given me by my protectress, and, taking up a fan with which I had learned the Spanish trick of screening my face upon occasion I joined the Governor and his beautiful spouse in the brightly lighted comedor, where covers at table were laid for three.
