So presently he had them in a carriage and bowling through the streets which led toward the suburbs.
"You will never have a more appreciative audience, if only you could make your voice heard above this din." "What are you driving at? Please tell me." "You have seen the two people sitting over there?" and he twisted eyebrows and mouth awry, with a whimsical leer of caution. "Yes; what of them?" "Do you know them?" "No." "Not even the lady?" "She reminds me of some one why do you ask?"
She must have seen a great deal of the world, he said, for one so young, and she talked in such an interesting and appreciative way about what she had seen, that he felt almost as if he had been to the places himself. With this for a text, he dilated upon the subject of Dora and foreign travel, but Miriam was not a responsive hearer. "I wish you knew Mr.

She did not possess a single beautiful feature; yet that smile of hers friendly, appreciative of one's failings as well as one's successes that smile cloaked a multitude of short-comings.
