Captain Talbot's inclinations did not lie that way, but he respected and liked his fellow-lodger, and his vexation had been merely the momentary disinclination of a man to be interrupted, especially on his first evening at home.
But the demeanor of Athenodorus has the grand air of the classical period, of one qui connait son monde, and feels the superiority of a living philosopher to a dead Philistine. How far above all modern armament is his prophylactic against his insubstantial fellow-lodger! Now-a-days men take pistols into haunted houses.
Le Frank took possession of his new bedroom. He had arranged to report his proceedings in writing. In Teresa's state of mind, she would certainly distrust a fellow-lodger, discovered in personal communication with Mrs. Gallilee. Mr. Le Frank employed the first day after his arrival in collecting the materials for a report. In the evening, he wrote to Mrs.
'I merely mean taking up your quarters with him, said Mr. Petulengro; 'and I was only about to say a better fellow-lodger you cannot have, or a more instructive, especially if you have a desire to be inoculated with tongues, as he calls them.

He concealed it under sharp words and moody bitterness, but it must still have been there, for Westray felt his loss more than he had thought possible.
Porcher's misplaced advances the fact of which it appeared to him equally idle to deny and fatuous to admit the dreary scene with his unhappy fellow-lodger, the good deed done which just now appeared fruitless all these contributed to make the complaint of the exiled cedar's tormented branches an echo of the complaint of his own heart.
A namesake, or, at the nearest, a very distant connection of whom I speak with all Christian forbearance my branch of the family have no cause to be proud." The organist had scowled when the Rector was proposing Westray as a fellow-lodger, but Joliffe's disclaimer of the landlady seemed to pique him.
The full significance of this tragedy of a noble young life cut short had hardly time to filter into the public mind, when a fresh sensation absorbed it. Tom Mortlake had been arrested the same day at Liverpool on suspicion of being concerned in the death of his fellow-lodger. The news fell like a bombshell upon a land in which Tom Mortlake's name was a household word.
Betsy the maid was already up and at work, on her knees, scouring the steps, and cheerfully beginning her honest daily labor. Our street, from the little nook which I occupy in it, and whence I and a fellow-lodger and friend of mine cynically observe it, presents a strange motley scene. We are in a state of transition.
