CotiMarketCap I promise to tell it to you some other time--perhaps to-morrow.” “Aw Mosey,” cried Betty, “give it to him in two pieces an’ make him twict as happy.”,Well, Lisa and Olea were really very contrary both of them. What would they say if they knew how every one had been calling him the heir of Kingthorpe? On the whole it was rather pleasant to be called that, although somewhat embarrassing.
