It is now a quarter to five, and Violet is pouring out tea in the library.,It would exceed the bounds of possibility to suppose that any charming girl of great sensibility whose heart was disengaged, whose feelings were fresh and sweet, could nurse for the space of five weeks so fine, manly, and[Pg 448] handsome a gentleman as Mr Lawrence without falling in love with him.

I--I--I do love Miss Dallas."

"Oh, did he though?" cried Patricia, kindling. "How clever of him to see. I thought no one dreamed!","So, I don't shoot partridge neither," said Billy. "I don't blame anybody else fer shootin' 'em, remember, but somehow, I'd rather leave 'em alive.",“Here, slow-pokes, drop yer carrots in this here bin.” He indicated an empty oat-bin.,"I cannot be quite certain if he does!" she said, after a pause, "but I fancy he has some idea of it. When he has seen me of late he has always been so nervous and silent.
