"Well, why not?" says Captain Rodney, undaunted by this small snub. "It is far more difficult to talk than sense. Any fellow can do that. If I were to tell you that Nolly is sound asleep, and that if he lurches even half a degree more to the right he will presently be lost to sight among the glowing embers" (Nolly rouses himself with a start), "you would probably tell me I was a very silly fellow to waste breath over such a palpable fact, but it would be sense nevertheless. I hope I haven't disturbed you, Nolly? On such a night as this a severe scorching would perhaps be a thing to be desired." Since that time the deer has had no gall and the antelope no dew-claws. "Oh! it isn't here! He has stolen it!" cries she, as one who can admit of no comfort. "And I felt so sure I should find it myself. That was what he was doing when I came into the room. Ah, Geoffrey, sure you didn't malign him when you called him a thief.".

"Mrs. Rodney would perhaps prefer to dance, mother," he says, with some irritation. "I am sure we shall all be very glad," she says, faintly, feeling herself bound to make some remark. Will have the whole possession ere it rest." "He has often called you that; but,"—shyly,—"now that I have seen you, I don't think the name suits you a bit.".
