'What do you mean? he snarled. 'I had the advantage of you at Memmert, in spite of acoustic obstacles. You can arrest us if you like, but the secret's in safe hands. 'You lie! He was right there; but he could not know it. 'Do you suppose I haven't taken that precaution? But no names are mentioned. He gave a sort of groan, sank into a chair, and seemed to age and grizzle before our very eyes.
"Yes; and what's more, I've been married for ten years." "Ten years! Good Lord!" "It's true." "Why, how old could you have been when you got married?" "A miserable, ignorant, inexperienced dolt, idiot, and brat of a boy." "By Jove!" "Well, the secret's out; and now, if you care to hear, I will tell you all about it." "I'm dying to hear, dear boy; so go on."
Well, I've kept that to myself, because no good was to be got by peaching on him, and a secret's always worth money. Why, lad, I could have sent that man abroad again quicker than he come, if I had a-wanted. Why hadn't you trusted me at first? You'd a-saved five hundred pound. You'll have him back as soon as that's gone." "He'd better mind himself, then," said George vindictively.
You preferred the love of a second-hand husband, with a silver watch-chain and a raft o' logs, to that of an honest soldier who had no fortune but his patriotic heart and his Springfield rifle.

They swung to the rhythm of his little song: My secret's in the wind and open sky, There is no longer any Time to lose; The world is young with laughter; we can fly Among the imprisoned hours as we choose. The rushing minutes pause; an unused day Breaks into dawn and cheats the tired sun; The birds are singing. Hark! Come out and play! There is no hurry! Life has just begun! The day broke.
I carry them down to Lakelands to-morrow, if the City's flat. 'Keeping a secret's the lid on a boiling pot with you, Mr. Fenellan said; and he mused on the profoundness of the flavour at his lips. 'I do it. 'You do: up to bursting at the breast. 'I keep it from Colney! 'As Vesuvius keeps it from Palmieri when shaking him. 'Has old Colney an idea of it?
THERE'S a secret in living, if folks only knew; An Alchymy precious, and golden, and true, More precious than "gold dust," though pure and refined, For its mint is the heart, and its storehouse the mind; Do you guess what I mean for as true as I live That dear little secret's forget and forgive!
As the castle clock struck one hour after another, the baroness felt that every minute was carrying the secret further beyond her reach, and yet, as the time passed, the effect of that secret's existence upon her own mind grew more and more clear to herself. She could never give Hilda to Greif.
He will tell me over again all about it, how it feels, how it doesn't feel, how he sometimes hopes it is passing off a little. And always somewhere in that fat, abundant discourse he will say, "The secret's keeping, eh? If any one knew of it I should be so ashamed.... Makes a fellow look such a fool, you know. Crawling about on a ceiling and all that...."
"Now the secret's out, there's no harm in mentioning it. You must see that picture, Farnsworth, and then you'll be begging Azalea to go back to screen work!" "Never," said Azalea, her face shining with happiness that she was forgiven and reinstated in general favour, "I've had my lesson. No more films for me!
