It did indeed deceive me, but this shall tell the truth from the start." "I do wish you had not bought it just yet. Everyone will make remarks about it. Something plainer would not proclaim our secret to the world as this will surely do." "Yet I thought it not good enough for the dear hand that was to wear it. Let me put it on, Dexie.

"'Deed, miss, I'se 'fraid!" "What! with the candle, you blockhead?" "Lors, miss, de candle wouldn't be no 'tection! I'd see de ghoses all de plainer wid de candle!" "What a provoking, stupid dolt!

This conduct grieved me, certainly, yet I was more perplexed than unhappy.
