I’ll keep him talking there, about those matters I mentioned, and anything else I can think of, as long as I can, and then bring him round the other way, stopping to look at the trees, the fields, and anything else I can find to discourse of.”’ Mr. Hargrave paused, and looked at me. Without a word of comment or further questioning, I rose, and darted from the room and out of the house.
I wondered if you have ever heard her say anything that would lead you to think that if she did leave this house of her own accord, she would go to any one person?" "Only Minnie," said Mrs. Culver in a voice as cultivated and low as Mrs. Hargrave's own. "I have sent for Minnie," said Mrs. Hargrave.
The only articles of furniture, were some crimson ottomans which served to set off the splendid paintings; and one table of the Florentine manufacture of pietra dura, on which stood a carved bijou of Benvenuto Cellini's. Our party were early. They were welcomed by Mr. Graeme with great cordiality, and by Mr. Hargrave with some embarrassment, for the tutor was still the bashful man of former days.
Dory forgot the honors he had come home to receive; he had eyes and thoughts only for her, was impatient to be alone with her, to reassure himself of the meaning of the blushes that tinted her smooth white skin and the shy glances that stole toward him from the violet eyes under those long lashes of hers. Dr. Hargrave resumed the subject that was to him paramount.
Those below now being called up one by one, were transferred to the cutter's hold, and Mr Voules, with eight men, including Dick Hargrave, was sent on board the lugger to navigate her into Plymouth.

Let me give you a sketch of him, my Lucy. Sir Hargrave Pollexfen is handsome and genteel; pretty tall, about twenty-eight or thirty.
"I spoke in general, sir; I dare say, nineteen women out of twenty would think themselves favoured in the addresses of Sir Hargrave Pollexfen." "But you, madam, are the twentieth that I must love; and be so good as to let me know " "Pray, sir, ask me not a reason for a peculiarity.
If it is only Rosanna " It was a swift ride. Every heart was beating quickly. If it was only Rosanna! Entering the hospital, Mrs. Hargrave went to the superintendent's office, where a firm, stern looking woman met them. "A child was hurt by an automobile last night and brought here," she said briefly. Mrs. Hargrave interrupted her. "I want to see her," she said.
Vivian Grey!" and here Mr. Hargrave introduced Vivian to an effeminate-looking, perfumed young man, with a handsome, unmeaning face and very white hands; in short, as dapper a little diplomatist as ever tattled about the Congress of Verona, smirked at Lady Almack's supper after the Opera, or vowed "that Richmond Terrace was a most convenient situation for official men."
It was not heavy yet; it was only a mist of saffron; but it threatened to gather volume as the day advanced. At luncheon Hargrave got a note from Mrs. Farmingham, a line scrawled on her card to say that she would call for him at three o'clock. Her carriage was before the door on the stroke of the hour, and she explained that the money to redeem the jewels had arrived.
