The weather is so very bad, I am sure you will not enjoy such a dull place as this," said Mattie, turning to Mr. Gusher and resuming the conversation, cold and emotionless. "No, no, miss," rejoined Mr. Gusher, smiling; "I am zure I shall be so happy wiz you. Wiz you to zay so many good zings to me, my heart shall be in ze paradise." Here Mr. Gusher made a bow, and pressed his hand to his heart.
"Miz, you shall permit me ze pleazure, and ze 'onar, to open ze dance wiz you," said Gusher, approaching Mattie with his right hand on his heart, and making one of his extensive bows, "You shall do me ze 'onar, I am sure," he continued, and as he raised his head with an air of confidence, expecting to see her extend her hand, his eye fell on the familiar face of a young man standing at her side, engaging her in conversation.

And the gasp that gets out of Peyton sounds like openin' an airbrake. "Nine-ty three dollars!" says he. "For a simple little thing like that? Why, that seems to be rather exorbitant!"
Eric respectfully insisted. "Allow me to mention to your Royal Highness my various situations past, present, and future." "What did oo begin wiz?" Bruno asked, beginning to enter into the jest.

And again he said with enthusiasm: "'ow it would be goot if she goom to Schweidnitz and blay wiz 'im all ze days, Erkelenz!" The slim equerry shook his head and said in a tone of conviction: "She would nod coom, Highness." Being of a younger generation, he spoke better English than his royal master. The grand duke shook his head sadly, and said; "No: she would nod goom.
"I fell for those bouncing black curls of yours before I was in the place five minutes." At that there was an incredible flow of baby talk.

Nobody paid him the least attention. How long he stood there he did not know. The groups before him shifted and changed confusedly. The lights seemed to blaze and to dim, and then to blaze again.

The other returned his keen gaze, and for an instant he did not quail; but finally he could stand the strain no longer. His eyes fell away, and for the first time in all their bitter encounter he felt himself sinking.
