He looked exactly like a stylish colonel to say the least—a very cross colonel though! No, there was no use going to the stable.,"Humph," she said as we went up the front steps, "I'll be glad when you are married and settled, Molly Carter, so the rest of this town can quiet down into peace once more, and I sincerely hope every woman under fifty in Hillsboro who is already married will stay in that state until she reaches that age.
