I could never face any one with a title. What will she say when she hears you are going to marry a farmer's niece? It is shameful of you," says Mona, with as much indignation as if the young man opposite to her, who is making strenuous but vain efforts to speak, has just been convicted of some heinous crime.

I thought you’d never show up.”，“Well now Howard Eliot I carnt see nothin’ in that to larf at. It is grand readin’.
