Now, as she gazed, she smiled sadly to herself, with drooping eyelids looking out from beneath strong brows. "I know you I know you," she said aloud. "You've got to take your toll. And when you're lying asleep like that, or pretending to, you reach up-and kill. And yet you can be kind-ah, but you can be kind and beautiful! But you must have your toll one way or t'other."
There was also a cat in a willow basket, from the partly-opened lid of which she gazed with half-closed eyes, and affectionately-surveyed the small birds around. The handsome girl waited for some time idly in her place, and the only sound heard in the stillness was the hopping of the canary up-and down the perches of its prison. Then she looked attentively downwards.
This has more to do than we are apt to think with the distaste for the country, unless several servants are kept, some for this work only.

The next instant the young gentleman beside him sprang up-and struck me a blow that hurled me off the step. I fell where the ponderous wheels would have ended me had not a guardsman, quick and kind, pulled me out of the way. Some one shouted, "Assassin!" "I am no assassin," I cried; "I only sought to speak with Monsieur." "He deserves a hiding, the young cur," growled my foe, the sentry.
