Once I got so discouraged at the idea of having all this misery in this life that I mingled tears with the beads of perspiration that rolled down my cheeks, and she snatched me out of those steaming wrappings in less time than it takes to tell it, soused me in a tub of cold water, fed me with a chicken wing and mashed potatoes, and the information that I was "good-looking enough for anybody to eat up alive without all this foolishness," all in a very few seconds. Now I have to beg her to help me, and I heard her tell her nephew, who does the gardening, that she felt like an undertaker with such goings-on.

"You see, Mrs. Molly, I thought, from now on, your life wouldn't have exactly a place for Bill. Have you considered that you have trained him to demand you all the time and all of you? How would you manage Bill—and—and other claims?".

"Impossible." "Well, Dido can do nothing," said Maurice, in a jesting tone, "unless you want her to forbid the banns." "Mercy on us!" she ejaculated, rising hurriedly. "I've gone and made you late for breakfast!" The words cut the air with an incisive clearness that left no shadow of a doubt, though Patricia could scarcely credit her own ears..
