The motive that induced you to plead guilty I had long guessed; it flashed in an instant on Guy Darrell; it was not mere guess with him! You ask me what he said? This: 'Grand nature! George is right! and I do bow my head in reverence!" "He said that? Guy Darrell? On your honour, he said that?" "Can you doubt it? Is he not a gentleman?" Waife was fairly overcome.
Thus detected, the angler rose; and Waife, whose attention was directed that way by the bark, saw him, called to Sir Isaac, and said politely, "There is no harm in my dog, sir." The young man muttered some inaudible reply, and, lifting up his rod as in sign of his occupation or excuse for his vicinity, came out from the intervening foliage, and stepped quietly to Waife's side.
This animal had grown very fat and super-contented, but I found that the family were in the condition of Gentleman Waife in Bulwer's novel, and were now wondering what they would do with it. "You see," cried Percy, who was the principal showman, "the neighbors are all on pins and needles about him.
Waife, despite his proud scruples, could not refuse such gifts from a man whose fortune and career had been secured by his artful lessons. Indeed, he had already permitted George to assist, though not largely, his own efforts to repay the L100 advanced by Mrs. Crane.
HISTORICAL PROBLEM: "Is Gentleman Waife a swindler or a man of genius?" ANSWER: "Certainly a swindler, if he don't succeed." Julius Caesar owed two millions when he risked the experiment of being general in Gaul.

George began the usual strain of a consoles in such trials. Waife stopped him. "All that you can say, Mr. George, I know beforehand; and she will need no exhortation to prayer and to fortitude.
And how grateful I ought to be that she did not live longer. She was saved such such such shame and misery!" A long pause. Waife resumed, with a rush from memory, as if plucking himself from the claws of a harpy, "What's the good of looking back? A man's gone self is a dead thing.
Crane, growing impatient, "one of the friends of Mr. Waife, by whom the handbill has been circulated; it will indeed be a great relief to us to know where they are, the little girl more especially." Mrs. Crane was respectably dressed, in silk iron-gray; she had crisped her flaky tresses into stiff hard ringlets, that fell like long screws from under a black velvet band. Mrs.
How recommend to it a man of whose life and circumstances nothing could be known, a man without a character? And Waife interested him deeply. We have all felt that there are some persons towards whom we are attracted by a peculiar sympathy not to be explained, a something in the manner, the cut of the face, the tone of the voice.
The moment you begin to stammer, stop, fill the lungs thus, then try again! It is only a clever man who can learn to write, that is, to compose; but any fool can be taught to speak. Courage!" "If you really can teach me," cried the learned man, forgetting all self- reproach for his betrayal of Waife to Mrs.
