“Did you hev a good time in the city larst week, Mis’ Mifsud?” asked Mrs. Wopp, politely. Mrs. Wopp repeated the words, slowly rolling them on her tongue as though to extract every ounce possible of scriptural nutriment, “So they took up Joner and carst him forth inter the sea.” “Put her in my room and give me the Fo’castle; I’ve always wanted to bunk there.”.
