"I can, of course, insist that she should apologise; but if she refuses, what shall I do then?" "Let there be no more apologies, if you please, mother." "What shall I do then, Frederic?"

"It is the best thing you can do, Ada. I wish we could stay and be present at your marriage." "But that is impossible," cried Katherine. "And not at all necessary," added Mrs. Frederic, hastily. "My friend Mrs. Burnett will help me in every way, and I have been trouble enough already." "I do not think so," said Mrs. Liddell, quietly. "But I am very weary. I will go to my room.

"Have you noticed Frederic Larsan's cane?" asked the young reporter, as soon as we were alone. "It is quite a new one, which I have never seen him use before.
