All æsthetic people have wide mouths, have they not, Nicholas?" The young man replied, "I am mourning day and night, crying all the while. My little son, who is the only one left me, also mourns." "But in that apron, miss, and wid yer arms bare-like, an' widout yer purty blue bow; law, Miss Mona, have sinse, an' don't ye now."
