Beaming from behind a promising array of cups and saucers, his portly wife presented a countenance of aggressive hospitality. In height and girth Mrs. Wopp had much the advantage of her husband.,While the major was thus considering what step he should take, David, returning from a long and solitary walk, entered the room.
