Ten minutes later the mess-room looked grey and dismal a pitiful contrast to its appearance a few hours before, but the sun rose before long as bright and glorious as ever, to come in at the infirmary window upon Dick Smithson's scorched brow, while, in company with the hospital attendant, the fat sergeant sat watching with a careworn expression upon his broad, good-humoured face.
Oliphant, on the other Zola, exemplifying the genius of the two nations. After tea Mr. Smithson's visitors, most of whom had arrived in Sir George's drag, explored the grounds. These were lovely beyond expression in the low afternoon light.
It is so exactly what I wanted and could not get anywhere." "I got it at Cooper and Smithson's Holborn Bars, you know," said Grandmamma. "This is sad news, indeed. But your curtains, my dear, have an extreme pretty trimming." "Oh, tolerable," said Mrs Newton, gathering up her hoop.
I cannot afford to be uncivil to him. 'Cannot afford' in this instance meant 'dare not, and Horace Smithson's thoughts as he paced the yew-tree walk were full of gloom. During that long meditation he made up his mind on one point, namely, that, let him suffer what pangs he might, he must not betray his jealousy.

I ventured to hint as much in my letter to Lady Maulevrier yesterday. A shade of sullenness crept over Horace Smithson's visage.

Sir Guy of Warwick is an old slang name for a sword; a rapier. It was first licensed 'in prose by Martyn Parker' to Oulton, 24 November, 1640. Smithson's version was first printed in black letter, and a second edition appeared in 1686. John Shurley's version was published 4to, 1681 and again 1685.

Perhaps that is what you really wanted to ask. 'No, it wasn't, answered Lesbia, carelessly; 'I was only talking for the sake of talking. A thousand thanks for the cheque, you best of brothers.
