As soon as his voice had ceased that of Miss Sparkes sounded from the neighbouring bedroom. "Is that the water?" For the pleasure of the thing Moggie stood to listen, an angry grin on her flushed face. "Moggie! I'll give that little beast what for! Are you there?"
And the accent came strong upon "something," and then again with terrific violence upon "woman." The Duke did not know how to silence Mrs Conway Sparkes. It was a great principle of his life never to be angry with any one. How could he get at Mrs Conway Sparkes? "I don't think she is worth your attention," said the husband. "That's all very well, Duke," said the wife, "and perhaps she is not.
The Southern Pacific Shops are at Sparkes near Reno and are of great advantage to Reno merchants. These shops do the general repair work of the Salt Lake Division of the Southern Pacific; they employ between five and six hundred men at an approximate payroll of $125,000 per month.
Miss Sparkes being already attired for her evening duties they parted only when they were obliged to do so, agreeing to meet again when Polly left the theatre. To pass this interval of time Mr. Gammon dropped into a music-hall. He wished to meditate on what had come to his knowledge.

"How do you do, Miss Sparkes?" began her enemy, not without diffidence as she turned upon him. "I'm surprised to hear from Miss Waghorn that something I've said or done has riled you, if I may use the expression. I couldn't have meant it; I'm sure I 'umbly beg pardon." Strange to say, by this imperfect expression of regret, Miss Sparkes allowed herself to be mollified.
One has but to look at Miss Sparkes to see the sweetness and thoughtfulness of her disposition. Come now, we are going to make a little plot together, to act for the best. I am sure we do not wish Lord Polperro's death. I am sure you do not, Miss Sparkes." Polly again looked at Gammon, and muttered that of course she didn't. Gammon grinned.
Miss Sparkes was defiant on her guard, but not wholly courageous; Gammon twinkled a mocking smile, and held himself ready for whatever might come. "She shows you people's letters, does she?" said Polly with a sneer. "This one she did. Good reason. It was funny reading, old girl. That's your opinion of me, is it?
"I hope we may be warm here too," said Lady Glencora. "But not deliciously warm," said Mrs Conway Sparkes.
They sing, but they are of no further use to eat them, instead of listening to them, is applying to one sense, the gratification which belongs to another." In the course of conversation, Miss Sparkes a little shocked the delicate feelings of the ladies, of Lucilla especially, by throwing out some expressions of envy at the superior advantages which men possess for distinguishing themselves.
