You saw Mrs. Dallas to-day, how she behaved.",After all, she has proved a great success. She has fought her fight, and gained her victory; but the conquered has deep reason to be grateful to her victor.,CHAPTER XIV.—BETTY AMONG THE FLOWERS,He had a match and if there was enough wood there was a chance.
