Instantly he was aware of the descent upon him of a fiery comet of femininity . . . . . . Frontispiece
She seemed to emanate from the tiger-skin as a butterfly from the chrysalis
A new thrill ran through the man and a new light came into his eyes.
Vast and complete was the system of notes built up by the professor and the judge
There she sits so attentive to her book that his entrance has not attracted her notice
Soon their heads were close together over plans
"Those red ones," said the judge, "are the very devil for showing on black!"
"I am taking Miss Waldron home," said Mr. Amidon
