He was quiet, well-mannered, attended strictly to his own business, and was eager to learn everything about his duties. They "sized him up" as a young man of education and good family who hadn't influence enough to get a commission and so had enlisted to win it. He had money, but no bad habits.

So you may win after all, especially as the storm was so general." It was rapidly getting light now, and as they looked they saw that they were above the clouds. They were skimming along in a sea of fleecy, white mist. "First call for breakfast!" cried Dick. His tones had scarcely died away when there came a howl from Grit, who was standing near the compartment of the main motor.

Cooke's composition, that is, beauty as Farrar and I knew it. "If you win that case, old man," he cried, striking me a great whack between the shoulder-blades, "charge any fee you like; I'll pay it! And I'll make such a country-place out of this as was never seen west of New York state, and call it Mohair, after my old trotter.

Crombie, a very decent woman, is a friend of mine, and I hae stude her friend in this case, and brought her wi' credit into the court, and I doubtna that in due time she will win out o't wi' credit, win she or lose she.

Now, let's go to by-by; if we don't, I'll be dreaming of her, and dreams won't win laurel-wreaths, as even you will admit." I let him go, and followed some ten minutes later to my own room.

Ever so many doctors have seen him and they all say the same thing, that if he is prudent and never does too much, he may outlive us all. Just now in London, he and Mother went to a specialist but all he told Win was that he must cultivate the art of being lazy. Mother says the worst was when he was too little to realize that he mustn't do things.

"I know you will win," said Wraysford. "If I do I shall feel an awful blackguard, for you would have been certain of it." "I'm not so very sure. However, I think I could have beaten Loman." "He seemed out of it, quite. Do you know I think that fellow is going to the dogs altogether?" "Pity," said Wraysford, "if he is, but it does look like it."

Give me your knife, Hewlett. It is for him, not for me. He deserved to die. He tricked me after we had found the gold. He tricked me twice. He told Leroux, thinking that he would win his gratitude and get free from the man's power. And the second time he told Carson." My heart was thumping as he spoke. I hardly dared to hope his words were true. "He was my friend," he mumbled.

She would not tell Win how to put things away, or let anybody else help her out. "You gotta learn for yourself or you never will," she said sharply, all the more sharply because Fred Thorpe, the floorwalker, happened to be within earshot. "I don't care what he thinks of me!" she said fiercely to herself, knowing that Thorpe would understand and disapprove her injustice to the new girl.

Nay, do not turn from me, do not look frightened. To me you are the truest, noblest, and fairest woman in the world. I love you so dearly, Lily, that I have not a thought or wish away from you. I am not worthy to win you, I know you are as far above me as the sun shining overhead but, if you would try, you might make me what you would. Could you like me?"
