Hope Wayne seated herself in the chair where Lawrence Newt had been sitting not two hours before, and settled herself to enjoy the spectacle she anticipated; for she had a secret faith in Arthur's genius, and she meant to purchase this great work of poetic truth at her own valuation. Arthur placed the picture upon the easel and drew the curtain from it, stepping aside as before to watch her face.
She believes every one is good; but her mother has, for so many years, sounded the clarion of her own virtues, that Rita takes the old woman at her own valuation, and holds her to be a saint in virtue, and a feminine Solomon in wisdom.
Error of three dollars in the valuation of goods captured at Arica. 73. Forty dollars for repairing pumps at a time when the ships could hardly be kept afloat. 75. Imputed error of one dollar! in the purchase of 756 gals. of gin, &c. &c.
