"By the margin of fair Zurich's waters," answered Pennie; "sometimes she sings too, but not often, because she is very sad." "Why?" inquired Ambrose, ruffling up his hair with one hand, as he always did when he was getting interested. Pennie paused a moment that her next remark might have full weight; then very impressively and slowly she said: "She has not always been a Goblin Lady."
Tall Eric had taken off his hat and fumbled with it; the low sun was ruddy in his bright hair. Perhaps it was that same sun which flamed so swiftly in Zurich's face. "We might as well go back," he said dully, and turned his horse's head toward the little huddle of hills in the southwest. Boland watched them go with a confused mind, and sank back to sleep again.
"For every word of that, Johnson would pay you a gold piece, and have a rare bargain of it." Zurich's voice was hard; his eye was hard. "Is this a time for quarreling among ourselves? There may be millions at stake, for all we know, and you would set us at loggerheads in a fit of spleen, like a little peevish boy. I'm ashamed of you! Get your horse and ride off the sulks.
Aloud he said: "One of Zurich's ranches, isn't it? I saw ZK burned on the gateposts." He passed his hand along Midnight's sweaty back for possible bruise or scald; he unfolded the Navajo saddle blanket and spread it over the saddle to dry.
Far out on the eastern plain they saw, through Zurich's spyglass, a slow procession, heading directly for them. "We've beat 'em to it!" said Eric. "That country out there is washed out something terrible, for all it looks so flat," said Jim Scarboro sympathetically. "They've got to ride slow. Gee, I bet it's hot out there!" "One thing sure," said Eric: "there's no such mine as that on Fishhook.
After his supper Stanley strolled into Zurich's The New York Store. Unknown to him, at that hour brown Awguan was being driven back to his little home corral, resaddled with Stanley's saddle and led away into the dark. Stanley exchanged greetings with the half-dozen customers who lingered at the counters, and demanded his mail.
The possession of this bridge by Austria acted as a perpetual hinderance to Zurich's trade with the South, and was accordingly greatly resented by the city. Austria's position, as ruler in so many burghs that, from their situation and the nationality of their inhabitants, were essentially Swiss, also acted as a never-ending source of trouble.
We know too much about Zurich for him to deny us our askings. But, for your mock at me, I want you both to know two things: The first is, I desire no headship for myself; the second is this I take Zurich's orders because I think he has the best head, as a usual thing; and I follow those orders exactly so far as I please, and no step more.
After the famous gala night, she sang once at the Duchess de Zurich's; but this was the last occasion on which she was heard in private. She refused, without plausible excuse, to appear at a charity concert to which she had promised her assistance. She acted throughout as though she were no longer the mistress of her own destiny and as though she feared a fresh triumph.
It may be because I have seen it more recently, that the water of Lago Maggiore appears to be the most beautiful in the world. I was delighted with the Scotch lakes, and enraptured with the Traunsee and "Zurich's waters," but this last exceeds them both. I am now incapable of any stronger feeling, until I see the Egean from the Grecian Isles.
