Murphy looked Orde over critically. "Who ye ringin' in on me?" he inquired. "This is a friend of mine," said Gerald severely. "Beg your pardon. The gentleman is well put up.

"Where did you get your training, sir?" asked the handler.
Grettir then spoke a verse: "Tell, oh tell in the dwellings abroad tell thou hast met with Saddle-head. The handler of dice in sable cowl sat on his back; hasten, oh Halli!" Then they parted. Halli went along the road as far as Kalfanes before he met Sveinn. They greeted each other hurriedly and Sveinn said: "Saw you that loafer ride from the dwellings? Sorely he means my patience to try.
It was as though the handler of gems were to attach no value whatever to the weight of the diamond itself, but to fix the worth of the stone wholly by the cutting and polish that the crystal might receive. At first, Kitty had been excited, bewildered and fascinated by the glittering, sparkling, ever-changing, many-faceted life. Then she had grown weary and homesick.

Brought up entirely upon literature and history, and interested at first in poetry and religion chiefly; never by nature a philosopher in the technical sense of a man forced to pursue consistency among concepts for the mere love of the logical occupation; not crammed with science at college, or trained to scientific method by any passage through a laboratory, Myers had as it were to recreate his personality before he became the wary critic of evidence, the skilful handler of hypothesis, the learned neurologist and omnivorous reader of biological and cosmological matter, with whom in later years we were acquainted.
"Business is business, Mr. Renault," was the self-contained reply. "Alphonse!" cried Mr. Renault, "Alphonse!" A door opened in the back wall. "Du vin pour Monsieur le Capitaine." "Oui, M'sieu." Eliphalet was too frightened to wonder why this taciturn handler of wood was called Captain, and treated with such respect. "Guess I won't take any wine to-night, Mr. Renault," said he.
