But there was no flippancy in the jesting; I thought the sweet humor was no gayer than a flower upon a grave. I am sure Titbottom loved our cousin the curate, for his heart is as hospitable as the summer heaven. It was beautiful to watch his courtesy toward him, and I do not wonder that Prue considers the deputy book-keeper the model of a high-bred gentleman.
"Don't flatter yourself that you are so near the end of your troublesome duties," said Madeline, with her pretty smile, which had been much brighter and more frequent of late than it was formerly wont to be, so that Lester had remarked "That Madeline really appeared to have become the lighter and gayer of the two."
Her quick smile came back as she looked up into his face and confessed: "My, it's good to have you back." "Come," he said. "We'll go and have lunch. You've no idea how much gayer things will look then." "We're not going to eat here," she announced, already gay. "I stopped in at a little funny store and ordered some things.
