"I thought it out, anyway," repeated Van obstinately, "and you wouldn't do it, so I'm not going to think up anything else till you have thought something, Percy Whitney."

You cannot help being generous; I see it in your face." "I always try to encourage polite learning, if that is what you think to decipher in my features.
