Adlerfeld gave them a surprise. Of course, Miss Churchill and the matron knew all about it, and Mrs. Albright and Miss Nita and I; but the majority did not dream of such a thing. At eight o'clock Mrs. Adlerfeld, who had slipped away to put on her traveling dress, walked in on the arm of Mr. Von Dalin, and there was a minister, and they were married!

As a prose writer, rather than a poet, Dalin deserves remembrance.

The daughter lives in Stockholm and the son in Newark. Mr. Von Dalin is librarian in one of the big libraries oh, I wish you could see him! Dear me, I must run back, for they may want something!"

Isn't the table here any better?"

I have a regard for you, sir, for many a dalin we had together; but for all that, faix, I'd be miserable for no man, barrin' for her that's gone. If I'd be so to oblage any one, I'd do it for your family; for divil the family in all Europe " "Easy, Connell I am not to be palmed off in that manner; I really have a respect for the character which you bore, and wish you to recover it once more.

If you have any business to do with Mr. Lindsay as of coorse you have why, I don't think you and he will quarrel; and by the way, sir, I know him and the family well, and if I only got a glimpse, I could throw in a word or two to guide you in dalin' wid him that is, if I knew the business."
