The Bishop and Regie looked hard at each other. "I send my love to Auntie Hester," said Regie, in his catechism voice, "and I am quite well." "I should like to have some conversation with Regie alone," said the Bishop. Mrs. Gresley wavered, but the Bishop's eye remained fixed on Mr. Gresley, and the latter led his wife away. The door was left ajar, but the Bishop closed it.
A small shrunken figure with bandaged head and hands was sitting in an arm-chair. The eyes of the rigid, discolored face were fixed. Dr. Brown took the bandage off Hester's head, and smoothed her hair. "He is coming up-stairs now," he said, shaking her gently by the shoulders. "Regie is coming up-stairs now to see you. Regie is quite well, and he is coming in now to see you."
Take me, Uncle Regie. The little boy was so near a howl that good-natured Colonel Mohun's heart was touched, and he consented to let him come on, though Jasper argued, 'You'll have to carry him, uncle. 'No, I'll make you, master! Tell your mother not to wait luncheon for us, Gillian; we'll pick up something somewhere.
We were all playing at a game. Do you understand, my little mouse?" "Yes," said Regie, with another voluminous sigh, and Hester realized, with thankfulness, that the half-penny and not herself had fallen from its pedestal. "I see now; but when he said, Hi! Presto! and it flew away, I thought I saw it flying. Mary said she did. And I suppose the gate was only a game, too."
Lanyard collected only a cheap American watch in a rolled-gold case of a sort manufactured by wholesale, a briquet, a common key that might fit any hotel door, a broken paper of Regie cigarettes, an automatic pistol, a few francs in silver nothing whatever that would serve as a mark of identification; for though the grey clothing was tailor-made, the maker's labels had been ripped out of its pockets, while the man's linen and underwear alike lacked even a laundry's hieroglyphic.
'I saw such a likeness of you at one station that I was as near as possible jumping out to speak to her. She had on just that fur tippet! 'That comes of living in Ireland, Regie, said Aunt Lily. 'Once in a shop at Belfast, a lady darted up to me with "And it's I that am glad to see you, me dear. And how's me sweet little god-daughter? Oh! and it isn't yourself. And aren't you Mrs.
"No," said I; "she's not a bit strong-minded." Polly laughed. "I'll say one thing for her," said I; "I don't mind how often I take her in to dinner. She doesn't expect you to make conversation." "Why, my dear Regie," said Polly, "you've been talking the whole of dinner-time!" Leo had seated himself by the heiress.
Dolores did not ask what she was to do, she knew enough already about trials to understand that she was only to answer questions, and she presently said, 'This can't be his trial. There are no assizes now. 'No, this is only for the committal. It will very soon be over, if you will only answer quietly and steadily. If you do so, I think Uncle Regie will be pleased, and tell your father!
"I fear you would never teach them to talk, Regie," said my father; "and a friend who could neither speak to you nor understand you when you spoke to him would be a very poor companion, even if he could dance on the top of a barrel-organ and crack hard nuts." "But, papa, babies can't talk at first," said I; "they have to be taught."
'I think you can prevent that best yourself, by telling Uncle Regie how sorry you are. He was specially grieved because he thinks you told him two direct falsehoods. 'Oh! I didn't think they were that, said Dolores, 'for it was true that father did not leave anything with me for Uncle Alfred. And I did not know whether it was me whom he saw at Darminster.
