It can't be done. They die harder than the heroine in a ten, twenty, thirty. From supper to bedtime is twice as long as from breakfast to supper. Honest!" But Emma McChesney looked inexorable, as women do just before they relent. Said she: "Oh, I don't know.
"You'll never find your father," said Mr. Bertram. "At any rate, I'll try; and if I miss him, I shall see something of the world."
