Min had caught a violent cold only a week before the Christmas-eve on which she expected me; and, in spite of all that science and love could do, she died before the dawn of the new year. She had looked forward to seeing me to the last, hoping against hope. She knew, she had said, that I would keep my word and come when she sent for me.

This from Emma, succinctly. "What you goin' to do when you get there?" persisted the wag. "Who, us? We gwine do whut you-all ain't know how to do: we gwine min' our own business," said Emma, politely. "Good-by, Peter! Don't set the world on fire, old scout!"

Of Min, who first became king of Egypt, the priests said that on the one hand he banked off the site of Memphis from the river: for the whole stream of the river used to flow along by the sandy mountain-range on the side of Libya, but Min formed by embankments that bend of the river which lies to the South about a hundred furlongs above Memphis, and thus he dried up the old stream and conducted the river so that it flowed in the middle between the mountains: and even now this bend of the Nile is by the Persians kept under very careful watch, that it may flow in the channel to which it is confined, and the bank is repaired every year; for if the river should break through and overflow in this direction, Memphis would be in danger of being overwhelmed by flood.

If I ever did anything that you didn't like, say you forgive me now. CAPT. G. You never did, darling. On my soul and honour you never did. I haven't a thing to forgive you.

When I was seeing her home, however, after we had all arrived at the vicarage, and separated severally with a cheerful "good-night," I was able to prosecute my wooing. We were walking along side by side she declined taking my arm, being shy, and quite unlike the frank, straightforward Min whom I had before known. I was not downhearted at this change, though: I really felt shy, and nervous, myself!

Monsieur Jules fidgeted and looked at his watch. "Be easy," said Flannery. "There's no hurry. I'm waitin' for a frind of mine, an' 't is fine t' talk over th' tariff with educated min once in a while.
