"I know nothing about it, and neither do you," said his kinsman, who, like a clever man, had begun to perceive that the observation of American society demanded a readjustment of one's standard. "Hang it, then let's find out!" cried Lord Lambeth with some impatience. "You know I don't want to miss anything." "We will find out," said Percy Beaumont very reasonably. "We will go and see Mrs.

"Mountain not ver' far. Two t'ree mile, then camp," encouraged Mukoki.
