"Bah!" he says, impatiently, rising from the ground and turning away. Her answer has frozen him again, has dried up the momentary desire for her approbation above all others that only a minute ago had agitated his breast. "Is it you?" she says. "Come in here, Geoffrey. I want you." "I mean, some of them dress uncommon badly," he says, with much mendacity and more bad grammar. THE BULLS SOCIETY.
