How do you guess poor old San Francisco looks to-day?”,"Oh, no," says Mona, gently; "only I should like you better, of course, if you were not the cause of our undoing.","Don't be too hard on your lazy old sister, Miss Pat," she said with a kiss. "I'll promise to go in for it if you won't scold any more. If I disgrace the family, you mustn't cast it up to me.",There was no time in which to gather his nerves together. He must act and act at once. So, pulling himself up with as little noise as possible, he peered over. No Miguel was in sight.
