Delighted at this apparently providential revelation, the Squire had a subpoena forthwith issued for the witness mentioned, one Ranzey Sniffle, a half-witted fellow who had never taken or expected to take a part in the game himself, but whose cup of happiness was full to the brim when, in return for punching up the fires, mixing the drinks, and snuffing the candle, he was permitted to see the play actually going on.
"Neither, thank you, but you can bring me a bottle of Burgundy and the Gazette." "Burgundy, sir Gazette? Certainly, sir " "And I'm expecting a gentleman here of the name of Smivvle " "Certainly, sir!

"Yes," exclaimed the old lady, catching the sniffle; "I never thought you would marry that! But Bill is as dear a fool as ever. He says now that Meshach Milburn is a good man, too. I never thought he was above a " Rhoda sniffled earnestly.

Here Rhoda gave a repetition of what Vesta had twice before observed an inaudible sniffle, and, being caught in it, wiped her nose on her apron.
They strolled down the leafy walk. John's back tingled unpleasantly, for he expected a shower of missiles. Louise's weeping ceased, save for an occasional sniffle. At last Silvey roused himself from the amazed silence into which his chum's actions had thrown him, and seized upon the solution of the mystery. "Johnny an' Lou-i-ise! Johnny an' Lou-i-ise!" Louise flushed scarlet and bit her lip.
