Only they would know.... Grant occupied himself with the work of the ranch that winter, spring, and summer. Occasional news of Mrs.

"I'm tired ... but I shall be all right presently. I'll just go upstairs now!..." He left her hurriedly, for Mary was anxious to tell her mother of their betrothal, and he wished her to know as quickly as possible.

Well, for five weeks I have walked and tallied and dallied with the loveliest woman in the world, and the upshot is that I am flying from her, and am for a hermit's cave until I die. Love cannot keep possession of me: all my strongest powers rise up against it and will not endure it.

As his subordinates dashed up the stairway in futile pursuit, he dallied in the bullet-marked room that he might walk to the center of the stage and wave his unwounded arm melodramatically.

Umballa had won his point in regard to having his prisoners flogged; but, Oriental that he was, he went about the matter leisurely. He ate his supper, changed his clothes and dallied in the zenana for an hour. The rascal had made a thorough study of the word "suspense"; he knew the exquisite torture of making one's victim wait.
