I went to Glengariffe the other day, and can hardly fancy anything more lovely than its pure waters, and its purple hills that lie continued in the depths beneath.",The porch of the cottage was the spot chosen for the talk. When Taylor joined the group Mr. Whitney opened the proceedings.,"But, as I said to Lady Rodney, suppose I haven't a headache," retorts Mona, triumphantly.,"Well, the Yankee's discipline is taut, though not so taut as ours by the length of a log-line to a lead-line.
