It's no' to be supposed that you could understand all father can, or that you should like all that he likes. And besides," she added, after a pause, "I suppose God's people are different from other people. They have something that others have not a power to understand and enjoy what is hidden from the rest of the world." Christie looked at her sister with undisguised astonishment.

"Most people are very glad to get into the 'Argus. We don't often have to ask twice for contributions. And we want this very, very much. Miss Raymond likes it so well and all. Can't I persuade you to change your mind?" "No," said Eleanor curtly.

"For some time; before my marriage, of course, I had not such good opportunities of judging as I have had since." "Of course, of course," said the major, in a sympathizing tone; "it's bad business.
