"Him great man!" said Dido, solemnly. "Him berry--berry great!" Judith swept her adoring gaze from the Victory to her sister's face. "As to that," he said, "we are by no means certain that they are the same.".

SUNDAY brought rain, and Mrs. Bennett decided that May Nell must remain quietly in the house.

He was a tremendous cat, who accepted lazily all the caresses bestowed upon him, while Flash, his white mate, was shy, and unless forced, would not appear before strangers.

"Implicitly! I tell you she is ignorant and superstitious. Come what may, she is convinced that your marriage with Isabella means her own death; so you may rest assured, Maurice, that she will never, never accept you as her son-in-law." "Bah! you black parrot!" muttered Maurice scornfully and turned upon his heel. As he vanished down the walk Dido clapped her hands together with great satisfaction and began to sing in low tones. Her song was barbaric in words and strange beyond all telling in the music. It rose and fell, and moaned and drawled, in a curiously painful manner. In the drawing-room Mrs. Dallas had risen to her feet at the first deep contralto note, and now stood rocking herself to and fro with an expression of alarm on her face. Isabella was terrified in her turn by Dido's song and her mother's strange conduct, though by this time she should have been used to these eccentricities. "I know it. David Sarby!" "You approved of my reasons before, major. You shall approve of them again. In the meantime, until the trial, let us remain strangers.".
