She listened with undisguised rapture to his proposal of love, while she was secretly thwarting the plans of his ambition.
"Well, perhaps she's not exactly pretty," said Mr Mawley, diplomatically; "but nice-looking, at all events that was the word I used, Miss Bessie." "But she dresses so plainly!" said Lizzie Dangler. "I call her quite a dowdthy!" lisped Baby Blake.
