Plays of the Prisoner of Zenda type would come under this head: so would Sir Arthur Pinero's farces, The Magistrate, The Schoolmistress, Dandy Dick; so would Mr. Carton's light comedies, Lord and Lady Algy, Wheels within Wheels, Lady Huntworth's Experiment; so would most of Mr. Barrie's comedies; so would Mr. Arnold Bennett's play, The Honeymoon.
By the way, what have you done with him?" "Nothing," returned Craig. "Isn't he back yet?" "No oh, well I don't need him right away." "And nothing was taken except some old photographs?" asked Craig, looking intently at Carton's face. "That is all I can find missing," he returned frankly.
Awnings had been made of one thing and another, in all the boats, and the passengers found it cooler to be under them in the shade, when there was room enough, than to be in the thick woods. So, the passengers were all afloat, and mostly sleeping. I kept my post behind Miss Maryon, and she was on Captain Carton's right in the boat, and Mrs. Fisher sat on her right again. The Captain had Mrs.
They met King on their way, stepping statelily and rubbing his hands. 'I have applied, said he, 'for the services of an additional sub-prefect in Carton's unlamented absence. Your name, Winton, seems to have found favour with the powers that be, and and all things considered I am disposed to give my support to the nomination. You are therefore a quasi-lictor.
'Are you dying for him? she whispered. 'For him and his wife and child. Hush! Yes! 'Oh, you will let me hold your brave hand, stranger? 'Hush! Yes, my poor sister; to the last! Nobody has ever read A Tale of Two Cities without feeling that this was the moment of Sydney Carton's supreme triumph.
Every man with his face on fire when he saw me, his countryman who had been taken prisoner, and hailed me with a cheer, as Captain Carton's boat ran in and took me on board. I reported, "All escaped, sir! All well, all safe, all here!" God bless me and God bless them what a cheer!
"I think I had the pleasure of seeing you at Lady Carton's garden party last July?" she said, courteously. "Oh, dear me, yes! I thought I knew your face. Lady Carton introduced you to me. Lady Carton is a cousin of Colonel Ormonde's." "Oh, indeed! Miss Liddell was not there?" "No; she chose to bury herself by the sea-side for the whole season." Here Katherine returned with the card.
"Just give me a dollar, or lend it Jasper, and I will risk it at play. I may rise from the table with a hundred. If I do I will pay you handsomely for the loan." "I couldn't do it, Mr. Carton. I have only two dollars in my pocket, and I have none to spare." "Humph! what is that?" Philip Carton's eyes were fixed upon the sidewalk.
He had seen the handwriting on the wall for himself. In Carton's gradual climbing, step by step, for the man higher up, he would have been the next to go. Murtha had decided that it was time to get out, to save himself. Suddenly, I saw another aspect of it. By dropping out as though dead, he destroyed a link in the chain that would reach Dorgan.
A general alarm was given, through the police, for the apprehension of William, but we had small hope that anything would result from it, for at that time Carton's enemies controlled the police and I am not sure but that they would have been just a little more dilatory in apprehending one who had done Carton an injury than if it had been someone else.
