"You make things so comfortable for me.","Malcolm, who was that lovely creature you were talking to just now?" asks his mother, as Lauderdale draws near her.,Ebenezer Wopp sat at the head of the table. Beaming from behind a promising array of cups and saucers, his portly wife presented a countenance of aggressive hospitality. In height and girth Mrs. Wopp had much the advantage of her husband.,"Fer the love av hivin, be sure ye make both inds av the circle jine," he shivered.
