Well, if this particular deal had failed, he must shuffle the cards and deal again. In any case Jan should see that where his children were concerned he was not to be trifled with. He was sorry, though, he had bought the half-ticket for Tony, and to ask them to take it back might cause comment. As the slow train steamed out from the junction Hugo felt a very ill-used man.
"The jury will please follow the counsel's speech without comment," said the Judge briefly, fully aware that the defendant's counsel would spring to his feet, as he did promptly. "The Court will allow us to explain to the gentlemen that the language they seem to object to has been accepted by the best theologians for the last thousand years as being purely mystic.
"I think I know the kind of place," said Staniford. "I suppose you're not very homesick?" "Not for the place," answered Lydia, evasively. "Of course," Staniford hastened to add, "you miss your own family circle." To this she made no reply.

Most of the men took these cards with the envelopes containing their wages and walked away without making any comment in fact, most of them were some distance away before they realized exactly what the card was about.

At last Eloise again became conscious of her surroundings. She turned to her companion, a skeptical comment on her lips, but she suppressed the words at sight of the innocent, expectant face. She certainly had nothing to give this child better than what she already possessed. "You can read it any time when you feel sorry, cousin Eloise, that and my Bible too. Mother always does."
No comment was made, but everybody burst out laughing, sense of drollery overcoming prudence, for it was well known that the she-captain was Madame de Maintenon, and the she-lieutenant Madame des Ursins.
