All these glaring colors and hideous pieces of furniture take my breath away. And the light——By and by you must come to some of my rooms; but first, if you are not tired, I should like you to look at my garden; that is, if you can endure the cold." "When am I to see you again?" says Rodney, anxiously. "Then that villain, that scoundrel, has it now in his possession," he says, quickly.
