"Why?" says Mona. "I couldn't well call her any thing else until I know her." "I do hope she isn't the under-housemaid," said Jack, moodily. "It has grown so awfully common.

Anything new might create a diversion in his favor, but he's done for if he has married another under-housemaid." "Very good, miss; I'm going," says the woman, and with a last touch to the butter she covers it over with a clean wet cloth and moves to the yard door.
