"At Allender's!" The tone of surprise, not altogether unmingled with contempt, with which this was uttered by Mrs. Minturn, put Erskine a little on his guard. "Do you know them?" he asked, with some gravity of manner. "Not very intimately. We had some acquaintance in former years, but we have broken it off. They sent us cards of invitation, but we did not notice them." "What is their standing?"
And if you don't quit stuffing yourself, and get around more, I shall instruct Sergeant Stillwell to put you on fatigue duty every day until you are rid of that mass of fermenting fecal matter in your bowels, and your stomach is restored to normal condition. That's all." Then addressing me, he said: "Allender's able for duty;" and Press and I walked out.
Allender's, and offered verbal regrets at not having been able to attend the party. "We wanted to come very much, but both Emeline and I were so much indisposed, that the doctor said we mustn't think of going out," forgetting at the moment the tenor of the note she had written only the day before.

A week passed, after news of Mr. Allender's business disaster had reached the ears of Mrs. Minturn, and in that time she had not called to see her friend in distress.

Mr. Erskine, who was the son of one of Mr. Allender's oldest and most valued friends, whom he had not seen for many years, yet with whom he had enjoyed an uninterrupted correspondence.

But they did not come; and no one missed them. On the next day, Mr. Erskine called upon Mrs. Minturn and her daughter, as he intended leaving the city in the afternoon. "We looked for you all last evening," said Mrs. Minturn. "Why did you not call around?" "I was at a select party last night," replied the young man. "Were you, indeed?" "Yes. At Mr. Allender's.
