For a few days Tish said nothing more, but one Sunday morning, walking home from church, she turned to me suddenly and said: "Lizzie, you're fat." "I'm as the Lord made me," I replied with some spirit. "Fiddlesticks!" said Tish. "You're as your own sloth and overindulgence has made you.
The sea was glassy smooth near the shore as smooth as oil; but farther out, the waves had begun to toss and tumble, and the moaning sound was become a deep hollow boom, which might easily be imagined the very voice of the approaching storm.

Industrially, the town cannot hope for much, unless it should ever become a naval base; but as a residential district it is very delightful, combining the charms of sea and noble river.
