Gray closed the door before saying: "The deception was mine, not Briskow's. You prefer to stand? Um-m I appreciate your feeling of formality.
Spying Sebastian, he began: "So Don Esteban has an heir at last?" The slave rubbed his eyes with the heel of his huge yellow palm and answered, respectfully: "Yes, Don Pancho. Two little angels, a boy and a girl." His gray brows drew together in a painful frown. "Dona Rosa was a saint. No doubt there is great rejoicing in heaven at her coming. Eh? What do you think?" "Um-m! Possibly.
"Then you will volunteer in my stead," shrewdly ventured Jack, with a glance at Dorothy. "Um-m. Duty and my official cares prevent," quoth the worshipful Secretary of the Colony, frowning and pursing his lips. Dorothy smiled at this and winked at Jack.

"You said there was a large contract of some sort coming up in London." "Large! Well, rather! The Robinson-Ray job. It's the biggest ever, in my line. They're going to rebuild those plants the Boers destroyed. I heard all about it in Montana." "Well!" Mrs. Mitchell spoke with finality. "That's the place for you.

Aye, sir; he must have the white heat for this kind of fine work. Um-m. So he must. I do deem it now a most meaning thing, that that old Greek, Prometheus, who made men, they say, should have been a blacksmith, and animated them with fire; for what's made in fire must properly belong to fire; and so hell's probable. How the soot flies! This must be the remainder the Greek made the Africans of.
We got nice quarters and your ma likes it here " "They're laughing at me. I heard 'em hollering." "They won't laugh long. No, you're learnin' fast, and we're all havin' a nice time. Only one thing I'm kinda tired of that Miz' Ring. I let her go, but I'll get you another " "She quit, eh?" "Um-m, not exactly. "I don't blame her. I've been mighty mean. But I couldn't help it, pa.
"Aye, hazoor." "And what next?" "I am to wait to conduct you back to your place of rest." "Um-m. You are, eh?" Amber, doubtful, tried the stone again; it was substantial enough; only the boat rocked.

Nannie said, brokenly, "he hasn't come for money; I I sent for him." Sarah Maitland's eyes suddenly opened; her mind cleared instantly. "Oh," she said; and then, slowly: "Um-m; I see."
