Hadria smiled maliciously. "You think I am so much changed?" Professor Theobald began to chuckle. "The trowel, I see, is still your weapon," she added, "but I am surprised that you have not learnt to wield the implement of sway with more dexterity, Professor." "I am not accustomed to deal with such quick-witted ladies, Mrs. Temperley."
"What are they lingering for so long, I wonder?" cried Lady Engleton impatiently. "Professor Theobald is really too instructive to-day. I will go and hurry him." Joseph welcomed her as his deliverer. "I was merely waiting for you two ladies to move; I would have come on with Mr. Fleming. I am extremely sorry," said the Professor.
Victory, nevertheless, remained with the Franks; but scarcely had a year elapsed when Queen Guntheuque, Clodomir's widow, became the wife of his brother Clotaire, and his two elder sons, Theobald and Gonthaire, fell beneath their uncle's hunting-knife." Even in the coarsest and harshest ages the soul of man does not completely lose its instincts of justice and humanity.
"Ah, now you really are profound at last, Professor!" "I thought it was risky to take you seriously." "No, no, I am delighted. The world at the threshold of one's five senses.

His only other considerate arrangement is having Charles Theobald here to swain Lady Bolsover, and talk 'Turf' with her Lord.
Temperley?" Mrs. Temperley supposed that clever women had something of human nature in them, and valued overmuch what they did not possess. Professor Theobald had perhaps looked for an answer that would have betrayed more of the speaker's secret feelings. "It is the fashion, I know," he said, "to regard woman as an enigma.
"Handkerchiefs and collars," screamed Harriet, "in my inlaid box! I've lent you my inlaid box." "Good old Harry!" She kissed every one again, and there was a moment's silence. They all smiled steadily, excepting Philip, who was choking in the fog, and old Mrs. Theobald, who had begun to cry. Miss Abbott got into the carriage.
