He was in despair; and instead of returning my ten florins he begged me to lend him another ten, still in the hope of a good house next time.
"Yes, and I hope we'll have some more to-morrow night," retorted the banker. "You still have the poorhouse, the cattle pound, and the lockup to serenade." "All right! Which one of 'em do you expect to be in?" inquired Jones. "We wouldn't have you miss a tune for the world!"
He took Lois's hand. 'Let me hold it. It does me good, said he. 'Ah, Lois, when I am by you I forget all my troubles will the day never come when you will listen to the voice that speaks to me continually? 'I never hear it, Cousin Manasseh, she said, softly; 'but do not think of the voices. Tell me of the land you hope to enclose from the forest what manner of trees grow on it?
