She nestled in her chair and smiled shamefacedly and said, "It's only half-past nine, but somehow ". In her drowsiness the wrinkles smoothed away from round her eyes and left her face like that of a plump, tired, happy little girl. When they were at home Father's and Mother's garments had a way of getting so familiarly mixed that even Mother could scarcely keep their bureau drawers separate.
Among the many who had come to look their last upon the Odalisque were men who had made free with her poor name, had been unsparing in their utterance of the truth concerning her and ready to drag her down, and some of these moved away now shamefacedly, but more stayed, and one after another took up the words.

"Hallelujah!" said Ensign Sand cheerfully, with a meretricious air of hearing it for the first time. "Any more?" And a Norwegian sailor lurched shamefacedly upon his feet. He had a couple of inches of straggling yellow beard all round his face, and twirled a battered straw hat. "I haf to say only dis word. I goin' sdop by Jesus. Long time I subbose I sdop by Jesus.

At length a very faint glimmer became visible far in front, and they crept towards it.
"Were you engaged to Delavan Eyre when you met him?" "Oh, engaged!" returned the girl fretfully. "There was never more than a sort of understanding. A mariage de convenance on both sides, if it ever came off. I am fond of Del, too.
