"It's good of you, Miss Clinton," he replied gratefully. "But I think you'd better stick to the fellows who really need attention. Don't add an extra ounce to your burden. You'll need all of your strength and courage to face the demands of the next few days. Those chaps have just begun to suffer.

"And Paul will marry an angel," said that young man, with a tender squeeze, "although he can't keep her in bread-and-butter." "Oh, I think there will be plenty of bread-and-butter," said the lawyer.

There are so many live puppies in the world. And just see how the puppy loves Miss Ann." "And Miss Ann loves the puppy. Mustn't squeeze him too tight," he admonished.
