'So!' said Rosa Dartle, with a contemptuous laugh, 'I see her at last! Why, he was a poor creature to be taken by that delicate mock-modesty, and that hanging head!' ¡¡¡¡'Oh, for Heaven's sake, spare me!' exclaimed Emily. 'Whoever you are, you know my pitiable story, and for Heaven's sake spare me, if you would be spared yourself!' ¡¡¡¡'If I would be spared!' returned the other fiercely; 'what is there in common between US, do you think!'

¡¡¡¡'Nothing but our sex,' said Emily, with a burst of tears. ¡¡¡¡'And that,' said Rosa Dartle, 'is so strong a claim, preferred by one so infamous, that if I had any feeling in my breast but scorn and abhorrence of you, it would freeze it up. Our sex! You are an honour to our sex!' ¡¡¡¡'I have deserved this,' said Emily, 'but it's dreadful! Dear, dear lady, think what I have suffered, and how I am fallen! Oh, Martha, come back! Oh, home, home!' ¡¡¡¡Miss Dartle placed herself in a chair, within view of the door, and looked downward, as if Emily were crouching on the floor before her. Being now between me and the light, I could see her curled lip, and her cruel eyes intently fixed on one place, with a greedy triumph. ¡¡¡¡'Listen to what I say!' she said; 'and reserve your false arts for your dupes. Do you hope to move me by your tears? No more than you could charm me by your smiles, you purchased slave.'

I did think, once, of Mr. Dick's going with you; but, on second thoughts, I shall keep him to take care of me.' ¡¡¡¡Mr. Dick, for a moment, looked a little disappointed; until the honour and dignity of having to take care of the most wonderful woman in the world, restored the sunshine to his face.

And then it will go in, you know - and then -' said Mr. Dick, after checking himself, and pausing a long time, 'there'll be a pretty kettle of fish!' ¡¡¡¡In pursuance of my aunt's kind scheme, I was shortly afterwards fitted out with a handsome purse of money, and a portmanteau, and tenderly dismissed upon

On the battle station, troopers worn half to death or deafened by the concussionof the big guns were replaced by fresh crews. None of them had time to wonder howthe battle was going, and at the moment none of them much cared, a malady shared bycommon soldiers since the dawn of history. Luke skimmed daringly low over the station's surface, his attention riveted on adistant metal projection. "Stick close, Blue Five," the squadron commander directed him. "Where areyou going?" "I've picked up what looks like a lateral stabilizer," Luke replied. "I'm goingto try for it." "Watch yourself, Blue Five. Heavy fire in your area." Luke ignored the warning as he headed the fighter straight toward the oddlyshaped protuberance. His determination was rewarded when, after saturating it withfire, he saw it erupt in a spectacular ball of superhot gas. "Got it!" he exclaimed. "Continuing south for another one." Within the rebel temple-fortress, Leia listened intently. She seemed

The trooper who had been unlucky enough to find her fell first, his head a massof melted bone and metal. The same fate met the second armored from coming upfast behind him. Then a bright green energy pole touched the woman's side and sheslumped instantly to the deck, the pistol still locked in her small palm. Metal-encased shapes clustered around her. One whose arm bore the insigniaof a lower officer knelt and turned her over. He studied the paralyzed form with apracticed eye. "She'll be all right," he finally declared, looking up his subordinates. "Reportto Lord Vader." Threepio stared, mesmerized, out the small view-port set in the front of the tinyescape pod as the hot yellow eye of Tatooine began to swallow them up.Somewhere behind them, he knew, the crippled fighter and the Imperial cruiser werereceding to imperceptibility. That was fine with him. If they landed near a civilized city, he would seekelegant employment in a halcyon atmosphere, something more befitting his status andtraining. These past months had gifted him with entirely too much excitement andunpredictability for a mere machine.
