An expression of surprise appeared on the pale face of the younger man. Most parties are just bunches of selfish people who go off in the corners and have good times all by themselves; but in Hillsboro it is not that way.

"I know--I know! But I don't want her to marry you, doctor. Mr. Sarby is the man for my daughter. He is good-looking and clever and--" "They have shaken mine," retorted Jen, grimly.
