"How couldn't I?" replies he. "Come; let us follow it up to the bitter end." "I really wish," she says, presently, "you would do what I say. Go to the farm, and—stay there." As a rule it always is late, except when it is preternaturally early; sometimes it comes at half-past ten, sometimes with the hot water. There is a blessed uncertainty about its advent that keeps every one on the tiptoe of expectation, and probably benefits circulation. "Why, they can't help it," explains he. "They are sent half the time.".
