For their hunting associations see Sir E. Tennant's Natural History of Ceylon, quoted in Romanes's Animal Intelligence, p. 432. See Emil Huter's letter in L. Buchner's Liebe. With regard to the viscacha it is very interesting to note that these highly-sociable little animals not only live peaceably together in each village, but that whole villages visit each other at nights.
The writer desires to express his obligations to various works from which he has derived much assistance, such as, above all, Du Bose's Gospel in the Gospels, Askwith's Conception of Christian Holiness, Tennant's Origin of Sin, and Jevons' Introduction to the History of Religion. To the first and the last of these he is especially indebted in regard to the view here taken of the Atonement.
To be sure, lime had been used with fair success previous to Tennant's discovery, but successful and practical bleaching by a solution of chloride of lime was first made possible by him and through Scheele's discovery of chlorine.
What must you think of us all?" he strode across the room and pealed the bell, and, when Jane appeared in answer to the summons, demanded wrathfully why nothing was in readiness for Miss Tennant's arrival. Jane surveyed him with the immovable calm of the old family servant, her arms akimbo. "And how should it be?" she wanted to know.
Accordingly she went into her mother's room and stood by the window. Now the window of Mrs. Tennant's bedroom looked also into the garden, and was really parallel with the window by which Kathleen meant to escape. There was an interval of silence, and then Alice had her reward! for the window of their mutual bedroom was flung wide open, and Kathleen, neatly dressed, appeared on the window-sill.

Sometimes I think there is a little gnat flying about and trying to sting me, but that's all." "And a charming metaphor, too," said Kathleen. She ate her meal soberly, but occasionally a bubble of laughter came to the surface, and her merry eyes glanced from Mrs. Tennant's face to Alice's, and from Alice's to those of the boys. The moment the meal came to an end Kathleen jumped up.
"Miss Tennant's the only body in the place as has got some sense in her head," she was heard to observe on more than one occasion. After tea, Selwyn escorted Sara upstairs and introduced her to his wife. Mrs. Selwyn was a slender, colourless woman, possessing the remnants of what must at one time have been an ineffective kind of prettiness.
"Pink is more Alice's color. She is too pale for blue," was Mrs. Tennant's reply. "Well, then, look here. Isn't this a perfect duck? See for yourself. It's a sort of cross between a coral and a rose oh, so exquisite! And see how it is made, with all these teeny tucks and the embroidery let in between. And the sleeves aren't they just illegant entirely? Don't you think we might make her wear it?"
Will meet you at a quarter to nine outside Mrs. Tennant's house." When Kathleen received the communication her eyes flashed with delighted fire. She thrust the letter into her pocket and proceeded with her work. The Irish girl looked quite happy that day; she had something to interest her at last. Her lessons, too, were by no means distasteful.
