Something told me that Alfred had come by the five-down train instead of the six-up, and I fairly reeled to the window and peeped through the venetian blind.

I fancy that one isn't very diverting. I wonder why they are such chums." Maurice flushed crimson, and, resenting the mocking tone of Etwald, half rose from his seat; but without moving a finger, Etwald continued in a cold tone: "I say deep things which you no understan'. Look at ole Dido, you white man.".
