"I did not mean to suggest that, little roommate. I carelessly let it lie there several days ago, and now I cannot find it." "I have not seen it," said Hester. She spoke quickly and perhaps, with unusual curtness. At least it seemed so to Helen, who attributed the curtness to Hester's being hurt at being asked such a question.
"You surprise me!" said his mother, and her look was indeed full of astonishment and inquiry, as if some plan of hers had gone astray. "I have heard the Secretary's name mentioned once or twice in connection with hers," she said, "but I did not know that his attentions had shifted completely from Helen Harley.

I could pay it in two years, and I will I will give up my whole allowance."
