Isabella Dallas, and none other, killed your boy Maurice.",Major Jen equivocated.,But as a rule men who act with excessive[Pg 291] imprudence are endowed with a quality of self-complacency which enables them to persuade themselves that "it's all right," and to this belief they cling until time and experiment prove that it's all wrong; whereupon their moral being falls to pieces, they become mean, cheap, and weak, and bewail their folly under the name of misfortune.,“Oh, how stupid you are!” exclaimed her brother.,“Are there many ships in sight?”，“I can well believe it,” said Aunt Grenertsen. “People never stay at home in these days. They are forever flying about.”，"Where is Dr. Etwald?" demanded the major, anxiously.，In this Jen was wrong, but, as he was only an amateur detective, he cannot be blamed very severely for his negligence at this particular moment.

He spoke with so complete a neglect of the Admiral's presence that the old gentleman might have been out of the room. "They have no claim upon my kindness.","Etwald!" repeated Isabella. "Dr. Etwald?","By Jove, you know, it is odd," says Geoffrey, presently, speaking as one might who has for long been following out a train of thought by no means unpleasant, "his sending for her, and that: there must be something in it.
