"Maurice! Yes, I am thinking about him; and you know why." "He take you from me." Disturbed by the unexpected appearance of David, and seeing from his expression that he was bent upon making himself disagreeable, Jen hastily interposed to prevent a quarrel between the two young men. "Yis. Dat so.".
