Now, phwat is ut?",“Don’t you think it might help if I got my boss, Mr. Whitney, to come down and talk to him about it?”,"Why should she be?" returned the other warmly.

If Maxwell has passed and gone down the other road, and is perhaps now already "done to death" by the cruel treacherous enemy that lieth in wait for him!,"The devil-stick, by heaven!" he said aloud.,“I’m so sorry our afternoon has been spoiled,” she apologized. “While we wait we might as well have a cup of tea. Maria, rinse the silver teapot with boiling water.”,She turns up one of the lamps, whilst Rodney still continues his contemplation of the wall before him. Conversation languishes, then dies. Mona, raising her hand to her lips, suppresses valiantly a yawn.,The clock on St. Francis' tower boomed the hour.,"I see it," Maurice replied in guarded tones.
