A home with with His voice broke in upon her dreams brusquely, creating grotesque figures in her brain. What was he saying? She turned dilating eyes toward him. "Lysander Letts! Lysander Letts!"
I weep not for anguish, but for joy, and would have gladly lost my other son, if he could have died like my Lysander." The Jew, horrified at these, to him, sinful and unnatural words, shook his head disapprovingly; but the Greeks overwhelmed the old man with congratulations, deeming him much to be envied.

As soon as he saw his daughter, he beckoned to her, and stroking her hair, while she pressed her lips to his forehead, said: "An amusing sight! The two hens obey the little man as if they were dutiful children.

"The seam o' yer stockin' 's got over the j'int, M'lissy," he said kindly; "it's made you sick at yer stummick; y'r as white as taller." Old Withrow entered his own house with dignity at last.
