"Well, between you and me," says Dora, raising herself on tiptoe, as though to whisper in his ear, and so coming very close to him, "I am afraid my dearest Florence is a little sly! Yes, really; you wouldn't think it, would you? The dear girl has such a sweet ingenuous face quite the loveliest face on earth, I think, though some pronounce it too cold.
"David," exclaimed Don, putting his hand into his pocket, "we've got news for you that will make you wear a different looking face when you hear it. After you went home, we rode down to see father, and he told us Eh!" cried Don, turning quickly toward his brother, who just then gave his arm a sly pinch. "Let me tell it," said Bert.
There was a hard, worldly look that came over her at times, a sly, calculating look that chilled him when he might have told everything he knew. Yet it may easily be that he told her enough, and more than she needed to know. In some curious way that Rimrock could never fathom, Mrs. Hardesty was interested in stocks.
It is certain she did not encourage Captain Stavers, for I went over to Graveleigh myself on the sly, and lodged concealed with one of the cottagers who owed me a kindness; and one day, as I was at watch, I saw the Captain peering over the stile which divides Holmwood from the glebe, you remember Holmwood?"

The name meant nothing to me then. I looked at him as I would have looked at another man. And I did not like what I saw. Something of sinister, nothing noble, about the countenance; power there might be Preston said there was but the power of the fox and the vulture it seemed to me; sly, crafty, false, selfish, cruel.

He felt chilled and numbed. He averted his face as he handed the letter back to Mary Ann's "missus." "What a fortunate girl!" he said in a low, stony voice. "Fortunate ain't the word for it.
