If only they knew, if only they could be told, could be forced to open their eyes and see, how perfect the right sort of marriage really was! Why, a man, poor dear, was abject!

"I I told him you would be up soon," stammered the poor, man-hating ex-governess. "You did?" said Miss Guile, with what was supposed to be a deadly look in her eyes. "Well, he enquired," said the other. "Anything else?" domineered the beauty. "I forgot to mention one thing. He did ask me if your name was really Bedelia."

No ordinary male could be as sweet and agreeable and sunny as " "Stop!" cried Miss Guile, with a pretty moue, putting the tips of her fingers to her ears after putting the piece of toast into her mouth. "One would think you were a sentimental old maid instead of a cold- blooded, experienced, man-hating married woman." "You forget that I am a widow, my dear.

Rough and steep was the path indicated by divine suggestion; mossy and declining the green way along which Temptation strewed flowers; but whereas, methought, the Deity of Love, the Friend of all that exists, would smile well-pleased were I to gird up my loins and address myself to the rude ascent; so, on the other hand, each inclination to the velvet declivity seemed to kindle a gleam of triumph on the brow of the man-hating, God-defying demon.
