Ignorant of the peculiar twists in Borrow’s nature, the gifted authoress commenced the conversation by an enthusiastic eulogy of his works, and concluded by asking permission to send him a copy of her “Queens of England.” “For God’s sake, don’t, madam,” exclaimed Borrow. “I should not know what to do with them.” He then got up in a rage, and, addressing Mr.
‘Come, come, Helen, don’t begin with that nonsense now; I can’t bear it.’ ‘Can’t bear what?—to be reminded of the promises you have broken?’ ‘Helen, you are cruel. If you knew how my heart throbbed, and how every nerve thrilled through me while you spoke, you would spare me.
Westby, for instance, is running; he’s entered for the hundred yards in the fall games,—likely to win it, too. Westby’s your greatest trial, isn’t he? Then why don’t you make a point of watching him?—Not too obviously, of course. Come round with me; I’m coaching some of the runners for the next half-hour, and then Collingwood wants me to give his ends a little instruction.” “Dear me!

You can then advise her as you please.”

I particularly beg you to be my guest.” And with a bow he went back and sat down again on his little sofa. “Great elder, speak!
“Do you mean to say you would hand it over to a ‘teck’ if one came to ask you for your wares?” The other smiled faintly. “Let them come and try it on, and you will see,” he said. “They know me, but I know also every one of them. They won’t come near me—not they.” His thin livid lips snapped together firmly. Ossipon began to argue. “But they could send someone—rig a plant on you. Don’t you see?
There’s some things I don’t ever git, because folks buy too many of them and it’s sich an everlasting bother keeping them in stock.
