I permitted the silence to go a minute, perhaps, while she fingered the cigarette paper and loose tobacco. "And of course, then," I hinted, as the twin jets of smoke were rather viciously expelled.
On two or three occasions at Geneva she had wrested his unworded thought from him with the same effortless sorcery. Lynde evaded her look, and studied a spire-like peak on his left. "I shall have an air of detected villainy now, when I ask her," he mused. "That's the first shade of coquetry I ever saw in her.
Quietly, his name unworded in the newspapers, he holds Tammany in his hand. I can't tell you how enthusiastic I am about him! Mines, politics, Wall Street, he's into them all, a million ideas a minute! Helps the chap that's down. He helps every one with whom he comes in contact. He has helped me."

"How cleverly you turn and twist both thoughts and words!" "Do not be so unkind, dear friend." "Unkind to you? I wish I had the secret of some unkindness that you should feel!"
