Archibald's sudden wish for a new saddle and bridle for Sawney could not be gratified without changing the bank-note; and, forgetting that he had left it in the pocket of his waistcoat the night that he went to the play, he searched for it in the scrutoire, in which he was accustomed to keep his treasures.
Archibald's ear, that it was a clever thing to be a Scotchwoman: "She supposed all her sisters, and she had half-a-dozen, might have been hanged, without any one sending her a present of a pocket handkerchief." "Or without your making any exertion to save them, Mrs. Dolly," answered Archibald drily. "But I am surprised we do not hear the bell yet," said he, looking at his watch. "Fat ta deil, Mr.
'Strange place, this, whispered Johnston Smyth as they took a table in an unfrequented corner. 'It's an understood thing that the habitués of Archibald's are trailers in the race of life. If you have a fancy for human nature, gentlemen, this is the shop to come to.
Sachs, a young man anxious to get on. Wunch took it for a positive order to find me a place. The company was full, so he threw out one poor devil of a super to make room for me. Curious thing old Wunchy got it into his head that I was a protége of Archibald's, and he always looked after me. What d'ye think about that?" "Brilliant!" said Edward Henry. And it was!
Finally, when Archibald's twenty-first stroke sent the ball trickling into the hole, Gossett had played his thirtieth.

Archibald's mind: if her husband should take it into his head to go out and hunt at night by the light of a torch; if there should be thunder-storms, and he away with the guide; if he should want to go off and talk to Indians or trappers, and he always did want to go off and talk to people of every class it would be very pleasant to have even Margery Dearborn with her.
"They belong to Archibald's regiment," said Miss Plinlimmon as we settled ourselves to talk. I had noted that she scanned them narrowly. "Why, here is Archibald!" she exclaimed: and I looked up and saw a young red-coat sauntering towards us. Her tone, I was jealously glad to observe, had not been entirely joyous. And Master Archibald, as he drew near, did not seem in the best of tempers.
"Oh, I did not at first recollect; I cannot possibly remember, indeed, it is so long ago, what waistcoat I wore on that particular night." The extreme embarrassment in Archibald's manner surprised Henry. "I really don't perceive your drift," continued Mackenzie: "what made you ask the question so earnestly?"
"And in the midst of the performance Sim Phinney leans over to me with the most heavenly, resigned expression on his face, and says he: "'It ain't OUR fault, Hiram. We promised not to interfere."
