"What are we quarreling already?" he asked. "No, but " "You think I am being wildly extravagant. Why, bless your ladyship's dear little heart, this hotel doesn't begin to know how to charge like a taxi. Now, no argument till to-morrow.

"It doesn't need a present to help me to remember a good mistress, my lady," she said. "God bless you for being so good to me," I answered, and then I kissed her. "I'll remember you by that, though," she said, and she began to cry.
