The insinuation fell harmless, as far as the young professor was concerned. If men would just make an end of women's hearts in a businesslike way, it would be so much kinder of them.

"What!" cried Jen, jumping up, "did Dido accuse your mother of the crime?" "Moonlight nights and lonesomely," I answered before I could stop myself, and what happened then was worse than any cyclone. He got white for a minute and just looked at me as if I was an insect stuck on a pin, then gave a short little laugh and turned to the table..
