As I take it, you are about twenty-five pounds over your normal weight. It will take over two months to reduce you, and we will allow an extra month for further beautifying, so that when Mr. Bennett arrives he will find the lady of his adoration in proper trim to be adored. Yes, just be still until I write these directions in this little red leather blank-book for you, and every day I want you to keep an exact record of the conditions of which I make note. No, don't talk while I make out these diet lists! I wish you would go upstairs and see if you don't think we ought to get Billy a thinner set of nightgowns. It seems to me he must be too warm in the ones he is wearing.",Kneeling down by her, Dorothy lays her head upon Mona's knee, and bursts out crying afresh.,"Certainly not," said Miss Jinny crisply. "I'm merely a guest here. I'm going to do something more practical, and I want you to help me, if you can stop being jealous of the poor girl, for——","I shan't see that black witch," cried the poor major. "David--Etwald, send her away."，“Yes, there is something—something perfectly dreadful, Mother, but I’ve got to tell you about it.”，"Yes; Dr. Etwald."，"What did she say to you concerning it?""Yes; I mean to,—before I return to England."

However, I got that laugh anyway, and I might just as well have left them, for Billy ran to the gate and called Dr. John to come in and make Molly stop digging up his buttons.
