"You nebber marry him, missy. Nebber, nebber!" Elinor sighed in deep content. Judith did not know whether she was being chaffed or not, so she dexterously changed the subject. I don't know what I'm going to do about this book, and I've got myself into trouble about writing things besides records in it. He looked at me this morning as coolly as if I was just anybody and said—.
