"Miss Scully, is it you?" he says, at length; "and here at this hour?" "I shall be charmed," says Violet; "but what is a country dance? Will 'Sir Roger' do?" The young bear went over to where the meat was hanging and stood up and began to pull it down. Kŭt-o-yĭs´ went out of the lodge and said, "Wait; wait! What are you doing, taking the old women's meat?" "Dear Lady Lilias, I think we have at last nearly taken in all the beauties of your charming room. I fear," with much suavity, "we must be going.".
