A maid may judge better than a man how a maid should take it." "I would think, Father," answered the astonished Agnes, "that a maid which did truly love any man should not suffer uncertain sorrow to stand betwixt her and him." "Yet how, if it were certain?"

The morning after was the glass about the room, which the maid that was to make clean the rooms swept up into a corner, and many came to see it.
