A girl is not so badly off who can read and write and has pretty manners. Janey possessed the two first faculties, but neither had nor apparently could acquire the third. The two dark brown heads were close together as they worked Ursula's shining and neat, and carefully arranged, Janey's rough with elf-locks; but they were more interesting than Reginald, though he was so much better informed.
They were all kept on the curb, in the leash, by the presence of this youthful observer; and the evening, though full of a certain excitement and mixture of happiness and misery, glided on but slowly, each of the young men outdoing the other in a savage eagerness for Janey's bed-time.

I shall never have Janey's face of suffering away from my sight. He is a soldier above all things. It seems hard on me, but I cannot blame him for snatching at an opportunity to win military distinction. He is in treaty for the post of aide to the Colonel the General of the English contingent bound for Spain, for the cause of the Queen.
"Perhaps it is because we are such opposites that we are such great friends," continued Rosamund. "Perhaps; but do say you are not anxious about her." "Not a scrap. I know Janey's ways.

I'd recognize it if I heard it out on the plains. I have, sometimes when a homesick fit gets hold of me out under the stars, when the noise of the camp has subsided.
She was doing her utmost to gratify him, 'for the purpose of paving a way to plead Janey's case. She was almost persuading herself she was enjoying the remarks of his friend, confidant, secretary, or what not, Livia's worshipper, Mr.
For anything I know, Percival is saying disagreeable things to the old man; but don't you worry about that. It don't matter a scrap, you see, so long as you and I keep friendly, eh? I'm talking very open to you, but it's all for Janey's sake. If you went and told father I'd been saying anything against Percival well, it would make things nasty for me.
There was the luggage, ready to be carried away again, anywhere, tossed into trains, carted on to boats. ... "He was too weak. He was too weak to move a finger." And yet he died in Janey's arms.
