Frau von Gropphusen rode quietly home. The servant was waiting at the door. He took the machine from her, asking if she would take tea. "No," she answered. "I have had it. You can clear the things away."
It was a queenly presence tall, graceful, and intensely womanly. "Mr. Holmes," she said, and her white-gloved hands clasped and unclasped as she spoke "I will speak frankly to you in the hope that it may induce you to speak frankly in return. There is complete confidence between my husband and me on all matters save one. That one is politics. On this his lips are sealed. He tells me nothing.
It is, indeed, he thinks to himself, very doubtful, whether in this wide world the much-abused William Shakspeare hath a more ardent admirer of this curious but faithful illustration of his genius.

The O.C. led the way into the office of Commander Jephson, U.S. Navy, the commandant of midshipmen. "This, Mr.
