"I, too, Marie," said he, "am pleased, very pleased, I assure you."

Only the other day she was wishing she might have her room done over, with new furniture and all. I'll try and coax her." But Lydia shook her head. "Please don't," she said.
Some of the party walked home to the house. Justina lingered, hastened, and accosted John Mortimer. But all in vain; he kept as far as possible from her, while Emily, who had gone forward, very soon found him close at her side. "Madam," he said, "I shall have the honour of taking you in to luncheon. Did you know it?"
