Berenger wore his black vizard mask as had been required of him, but the man's eyes followed him, as though learning by heart the outline of his tall figure.
Then she turned on Ashmead, and said, quietly, "That Poikilus is still acting for him, and the one thing they desire to learn is where to find Miss Vizard, and delude her to her ruin." "No, no," cried Ashmead violently; but the next moment his countenance fell. "You are wiser than I am," said he; "it may be. Confound the sneak! I'll give it him next time I see him!
"Look here, old fellow," said he to Vizard, "don't you see that Miss Gale has discovered some spots in your paradise? but, out of delicacy, does not want to publish them, but to confide them to your own ear.

"Am I to believe all this?" said Vizard. "Can women be such true friends?" "What cannot women be? What! are you one of those who take us for a clique?
The world," said this youthful philosopher, "is taken in by words. The truth is, that gambling with cards is fair, and gambling without cards a swindle."

"It is too true," said Vizard dolefully: "showed me a ship in full sail, and I praised it in my way. I said, 'That rock is rather well done. " "Well, she will be seized with a desire to sketch.
No." "Oh, I forgot. You have a physician of your own sex. Why is she not looking after you?" "Miss Gale is better employed. She is at Vizard Court in attendance on a far more brilliant person Mademoiselle Klosking, a professional singer. Perhaps you know her?" "I saw her at Homburg."
