"An hour ago I thought all might be completed in a few days, but these affairs are sometimes unaccountably prolonged!" She leaned over and looked at herself in the water for a moment.

And did your wound cause you much trouble? I confess I've passed many an anxious hour, thinking of your narrow escape and of your injury. It wasn't too bad, was it? Tell me!"

On my way to the town, I was reminded by the staring of all the people I passed on the road, of one important consideration which I had hitherto most unaccountably overlooked the necessity of making some radical change in my personal appearance.

"I realize my defects, sir, and I am trying very, very hard to overcome them." "Are you ill at ease over any of your studies?" persisted coach.
