Paris had seemed to him like a great oven. All the time he had been half stifled, and yet he knew very well that at a word from Spencer he would have returned there at an hour's notice. He knew, too, that the home which he had loved all his days could never be quite the same place to him again. Andrew roused himself from rather a prolonged silence. "You were a brick to go, George," he said.
And turning to Madeline Spencer: "Whatever the outcome, madame, you will leave Washington tonight and sail from New York on the morrow; and I should advise you to remain abroad so long as you are in the Diplomatic Service."
But his father and kinsmen saw only failure in these days of dawdling; and the money being gone, Herbert Spencer, aged twenty-two, went up to London to try to get a renewal of the offer from his old employer. But things had changed chances gone are gone forever, and he was told that opportunity knocks but once at each man's door.
"Who is that fine-looking young officer?" she questioned softly, yet without venturing to remove her glance from his face. Mr. Wynkoop started. "Oh, exactly; I had forgotten my mission.

At least, not yet," she murmured fervently. From the carriage window she put out her hand. "You have been very kind to me," she said. "Good-bye!"

I didn't expect to get any decent play here!" Spencer slipped into a small vestibule where he had left a hat and overcoat. He remained there till Dunston crossed the hall and entered the elevator.
She listened to the talk between Doctor McCall and Miss Muller in a language she had never learned. Maria's share of it was largely made up of headlong dives into Spencer and Darwin, with reminiscences of The Dial, while Doctor McCall's was anchored fast down to facts; but it was all alive, suggestive, brilliant. They were young. They were drinking life and love with full cups.
Each of these authors quote from nearly every book in the Bible, and each of them refers to the Bible not less than five hundred times. Herbert Spencer admits that it is the greatest educator. It is winning its place in school and college. No education is complete without a knowledge of this literature.
