"Dear me!" said Miss Stapylton; "how interesting!" Then she yawned with deliberate cruelty. "However," she concluded, "I shall call you Olaf, just the same." "Er h'm!" said the colonel. This imbecile, without a syllable to say for himself, without a solitary adroit word within tongue's reach, wherewith to annihilate the hussy, was a Musgrave of Matocton! And she did.
The boy smiles at you from the canvas, smiles ambiguously, smiles with a woman's mouth, set above a resolute chin, however, and with a sort of humorous sadness in his eyes. These latter are of a dark shade of blue purple, if you will, and his hair is tinged with red. "Why, he took after me!" said Miss Stapylton. "How thoughtful of him, Olaf!" And Rudolph Musgrave saw the undeniable resemblance.
Stapylton Toad, so that little change was effected: My Lord Devildrain, this is a pleasure indeed!" "Why, Ernest Clay," said Mr. Buckhurst Stanhope, "I thought Alhambra wore a turban; I am quite disappointed." "Not in the country. Stanhope; here he only sits cross-legged on an ottoman, and carves his venison with an ataghan."
There was upon the table a large photograph in sepia of Patricia Stapylton. He studied this now. She was very beautiful, he thought. "'Nor thou detain her vesture's hem' " said the colonel aloud. "Oh, that infernal Yankee understood, even though he was born in Boston!" And this as coming from a Musgrave of Matocton, may fairly be considered as a sweeping tribute to the author of Give All to Love.

The next important case was that of a negro named Lewis. He 'had formerly, says Mr Sharp's biographer, 'been a slave in possession of a Mr Stapylton, who now resided at Chelsea.
"It looks so silly," as Patricia pointed out. And, besides, a house-party is the most economical method, as she also pointed out, being born a Stapylton of paying off your social obligations, because you can always ask so many people who, you know, have made other plans, and cannot accept. "So we will invite Judge Allardyce, of course," said Patricia. "I had forgotten his court met in June.
An action was then commenced against Stapylton, who defended himself, on the plea, "That Lewis belonged to him as his slave." In the course of the trial, Mr. Dunning, who was counsel for Lewis, paid Mr. Sharp a handsome compliment, for he held in his hand Mr.

"You should have told her, Olaf," said Miss Stapylton. "You should have told her that you cared." He gave a gesture of dissent. "She had everything," he pointed out, "everything the world could afford her.
"It is true," he conceded, "that there is a certain likeness." "And he is a very beautiful boy," said Miss Stapylton, demurely. "Thank you, Olaf; I begin to think you are a dangerous flatterer. But he is only a boy, Olaf! And I had always thought of Gerald Musgrave as a learned person with a fringe of whiskers all around his face like a centerpiece, you know." The colonel smiled.
