Jack tripped up this ungallant speech by remarking that if Mavick was in this mood he did not know why he came ashore. And Van Dam said that sooner or later all men went ashore. This thin sort of talk was perhaps pardonable after the weariness of a sea voyage, but the Major promptly said it wouldn't do. And the Major seemed to be in charge of the place. "No epigrams are permitted.

Armadale's steward meets his employer at the terminus, I said. 'May I ask once more how Mr. Armadale is to be persuaded to come here? "'Don't think me ungallant, rejoined the doctor in his gentlest manner, 'if I ask, on my side, how are men persuaded to do nine-tenths of the foolish acts of their lives?

"What an idea!" she thought, "and how ungallant he is!" And yet he had a remarkable power of fascination, though, as Ruth said, he made no effort to please.

Mr. WALTER LONG introduced a Bill to enable the Government to prospect for oil in the United Kingdom.

Hotep was at On comforting his family, who mourned over Bettis, and most of the other ministers were scattered over Egypt lamenting their own dead, and few expected the ungallant act of the king. But one day, when all the court had reassembled, Masanath came into the great council chamber.

He is ungallant enough to say that he has never yet seen a girl whom he would care to watch walk up those steps in the moonlight.
