"It is undated, and it is without the formal beginning of My dear, etc.","Yes, I have got it," also in a subdued whisper. "And, oh, Geoffrey, it is just too lovely! It's downright delicious; and satin, too! It must"—reproachfully—"have cost a great deal, and after all you told me about being poor!

Occasionally he administered chastisement to an impertinent fly which after buzzing around in a tantalizing manner ventured to settle on his nose or ear. After an hour of intense boredom he rose, stretched himself, yawned; then began to walk sedately towards the church. He intended to find out what was going on anyway. He had been told to watch the democrat; but there were limits to even canine patience. He reached the church door just in time to see a small, badly-frightened mouse running madly up the aisle. Quick as a flash he gave chase, uttering short, excited yelps as he ran. The mouse redoubled its speed. So did Jethro. Round and round the church they raced.

"There isn't anything prettier nor sweeter in the whole ball, I'll warrant!","Yes, I shall say——" anxiously.,"I don't understand you," says Geoffrey, still rather hotly.,"Well," said Jen, with a shrug, "you are old enough to guide your own actions.
