"Here are two roses and no thorn." "Ah! What a strange oversight," he exclaimed, seating himself nevertheless.

"The only way to remedy it will be to put the tutor in your place, Miss Benson, and you come opposite Miss Pauline.

Quick; before he comes and refuses to move his Teutonic bones an inch." Charlotte Benson changed her seat and the vacant one was left between her and Mary Leighton.
This is the order of our seats, for that and many following happy nights and days: Richard, Mary Leighton, Henrietta, The Tutor, Mr.Eugene Whitney, Charlotte Benson, Myself, Charley, Kilian, Sophie.
Mary Leighton looked furious and could hardly speak a word all through the meal.

It was particularly hard upon her, as the tutor did not come, and the chair was empty, and a glaring insult to her all the time.
Kilian had done his part so innocently and so simply that it was hard to suspect him of any intention to pique her and annoy Richard, but I am sure he did it with just those two intentions.

He was as thorough a flirt as any woman, and withal very fond of change, and I think my pink grenadine quite dazzled him as I stood on the piazza.
