As she reaches the ground, and while his arms are still round her, she says, with a sudden effort, and without lifting her eyes, "There is very good snipe-shooting here at Christmas.","A mere nothing," says Nicholas, airily; "we were merely chaffing him a little, because you know what a mess he makes of anything of that sort he takes in hand.","What did she say, Mona?" inquired Doatie.,It was Elinor's turn to raise misty eyes to the Messenger of the Ideal, and, like Judith, she was silent, busy with this thought.,"Phew, that doesn't sound like our fine lady of the stony heart!" exclaimed Griffin. "Are you sure, kidlet?"，"Are you going to promulgate that doctrine at the Suffrage League?" he asked, beginning to turn the knob.，A brown water-spaniel waddled from the woodshed into the room, four bright-eyed puppies at her heels, and stood half in the glow, half in the shadow, short tail ingratiatingly awag.，"He did, sir. Leastways he arsked me to arsk Dido 'bout it."Elinor glanced at them as she went in. "You two look remarkably hilarious," she said casually.
