"It means more than that to me," replied Elinor. "It means work—glorious, big, beautiful work——","Some years since" said Thackeray in a public speech, "when I was younger, and used to frequent jolly assemblies, I wrote a Bacchanalian song to be chanted after dinner;" and a contemporary record has preserved a note of "the radiant gratification of his face whilst Horace Mayhew sang The Mahogany Tree, perhaps the finest and most soul-stirring of Thackeray's social songs."，But Mona's eyes see nothing but one object only.，"What! kiss the Australian? I'd see him—very well—that is—ahem! I certainly would not, you know," says Mr. Rodney.，"Yet I feel sure—I know," she says, tremulously, "you are hiding something from me.
