"Not I," said she; "I'll go into real estate, and become as blind as the rest!" Jim paid no attention to my chaffing when I spoke of his conquest, as I called Antonia. In fact, he seemed annoyed, and for a long time said nothing. "You can see how the Allen estate proposition stands," said he, at last.
Bernard Temple scarcely knew her daughter when she saw her back again. "I'm in misery," said Antonia; "but a promise is a promise. My dear mother, when you are married to Sir John, that dear, dear old man, you need not expect to see me often at the Grange."
