"They don't seem unhappy, that's a fact," Olympia said, reflectively, "but I should think ownership in flesh and blood would harden people; and yet the Atterburys are very kind and gentle. I saw tears in Mrs. Atterbury's eyes, yesterday, when mamma was sitting here with you." "Yes," Jack said, unconsciously, "women enjoy crying " "You insufferable braggart, how dare you talk like that?
