It was likewise well known that Mr Lawrence was a friend of the Actons, and in a small town of small gossips the idea if not the circumstance of Mr Lawrence having offered for the hand of the beautiful Miss Acton was not likely to be[Pg 142] neglected or overlooked, and to do the gossips justice, they imputed the rejection of the handsome and dashing young Naval officer to his loose habits.,Such is the moral of this little story—，"Tell me about your mother," she says, folding her hands easily in her lap.

There is keen anxiety in her tone.，“That’s Flash; he always works for his breakfast,” Billy pompously approved.，"Awfully early," puts in Geoffrey."Why not?" said Etwald, coolly. "Mrs. Dallas had no reason to steal the devil-stick, yet--"

He looked in again.,"You aren't angry, are you?" says Mona, now really contrite. "I couldn't help it, and it was like it, you know.",“Yes, but I have just written to him that if he will rub himself with kerosene he will get well.”,The demon Superstition Nature shocks,,“Wasn’t much after all your trouble to get down, was it?” said a voice behind him.
