"Why, of course, just like a blacksmith; only mine will be of soft brown leather and pinked at the edges."
"I don't understand why she should lie about it." "I have been there several times and inquired for you," he resumed; "and was always told that you were not in." A flush of surprise pinked her face. "I never heard anything of it," she said regretfully. "So Polly Dudley told me. I saw her this morning." "Oh, did you!" she cried eagerly. "She was in my office for an hour or two.
All the reply she gives is a stiff nod and I notice her face is pinked up like she was peeved at something. "If your car isn't here can't we take you home?" asks Vee. She acts sort of stunned for a second, and then, after another look up the road through the sheets of rain, she steps up hesitatin'. "I suppose my stupid chauffeur forgot I'd gone to town," says she.
He must be a sailor," said Amyas; "let me out and see the fellow, and if he needs putting forth " "Why, I dare say he is not so big but what he will go into thy pocket.

"I don't know," Damaris answered. "Her plans, I believe, are uncertain at present. You and Dr. Horniblow will stay to tea with us, won't you?" this charmingly.
