I tell you, that if I caught any of my boys up to such tricks, I'd cut them out of my will, and settle the money on their wives; that's what I would!" "Well, pa, I shall try and do all in my power for poor Mrs. Ferrola," said Mrs. Van Astrachan; "and you may be quite sure I won't take another step towards Mrs. Follingsbee's acquaintance." "It's a pity," said Mr.
She looked at him wide-eyed for a second or two as he stood, his fur-lined coat with astrachan collar thrown open, his hand holding a soft felt hat on his hip, his absurdly beautiful head thrown back, to casual glance the Fortunate Youth of a month or two ago. But to Jane's jealous eye he was not even the man she had seen that afternoon. He looked many years older.
She smiled at this vision of their "luck," but she looked anxious she looked unusual: the only thing that kept me up was the fact that, oddly enough, she wore mourning no great depths of crape, but simple and scrupulous black.

"Well, I'll tell you," said Mr. Van Astrachan: "you ought to have seen her in a red dress she used to wear." "Oh, come, papa! what nonsense! Rose, I never wore a red dress in my life; it was a pink silk; but you know men never do know the names for colors."
