Again she was out in the pale starlight, and heard the autumn wind go moaning through the locust trees as Nathaniel, the strange, eccentric, woman-hating Nathaniel, but just returned from the seas, told her how madly he had loved her, and how the knowledge that she belonged to another would drive him from his fatherland forever that in the burning clime of India he would make gold his idol, forgetting, if it were possible, the mother who had borne him!
John, the shy, woman-hating creature, who had received the news of Louie's expected advent in a spirit of mingled irritation and depression who, after his first startled look at her as she passed through the shop, seemed to David to have fled the sight of her whenever it was possible!
All this, and a great deal more about the shy woman-hating organist, and the unluckiness of the dissenter no, precentor having a sick wife, and the legal difficulties that prevented building a better house for the boarders than the queer long room where they lodged, between the cloister and the Bailey the proper name of the little court by which Geraldine had come was poured out; and kind as it was, there was a certain sense of having been talked to death.
"You need not begin to look blue, Steve; and if you back out, or serve us any of your woman-hating tricks, such as I've heard of, I'll never speak to you again, never." "I wouldn't serve you any trick, Mr. Cravath, you know that," replied Steve, proudly; "and I haven't the least idea of backing out. But I am afraid Mrs.

"That is not enough, nor half. There, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there."
You will see a hand not clearly visible to the outside world a very beautiful hand it is too, as I ought to know that will beckon you to your doom: you will hear a voice whose silvery music will drown all fears, all scruples, all world-sick longings for your woman-hating moods, all memories of your lost Lenore of long ago, and tell you that resistance and delay are vain.
Mohun and Miss Georgia were about to be married, and I was to be the first groomsman. The woman-hating Benedict of the banks of the Rappahannock had completely succumbed, and the satirical Beatrice had also lost all her wit. It died away in sighs, and gave place to reveries those reveries which come to maidens when they are about to embark on the untried seas of matrimony.
But, oh, how glad she was to see the words that followed: "Up to the time of going to press there is little new to report concerning the extraordinary series of crimes which are amazing, and, indeed, staggering not only London, but the whole civilised world, and which would seem to be the work of some woman-hating teetotal fanatic.
The villains are melodramatic enough in their behaviour, but, as portraits, they are artfully different from the conventional bad men of fiction. The thin chap, Mr. Jones, is truly sinister, and there is a horrid implication in his woman-hating, which vaguely peeps out in the bloody finale. The hairy servant might be a graduate from The Island of Doctor Moreau of Mr.
