Promise me that it shall be a solemn secret between you and me." "I promise, Lady Betty. Your behest shall be sacredly regarded," replied Malcom with mock gravity. "But," after a little, "shall you tell Barbara?" "Tell Barbara? No! no! How could I tell her! Malcom, don't you know that it is only by a chance that we have found these pictures?
In his own native strength he seizes our imagination and, at will, plays upon it. We shudder, yet are fascinated." "Oh, uncle! I don't like it!" cried Margery, almost tearfully. "I don't wish to see any more of his pictures, if all are like these." "Madge puss," said Malcom, "this is a horrible subject. Not all will be like this."
If this is to become an æsthetic crowd, I don't wish to be left out," laughed Malcom. A morning was decided upon for the first lesson. "We will begin at the beginning," said Mr. Sumner; "one vital mistake often made is in not starting far enough back.

Instead of gain there seemed to be a continual slow loss of strength that was perceptible especially to Mrs. Douglas.
