" 'Tis merry, 'tis merry, in good green wood, So blithe Lady Alice is singing; On the beech's pride, and the oak's brown side, Lord Richard's axe is ringing." Philetus came, and was inducted into office and the little room immediately; and Fleda felt herself eased of a burden.
Soames smiled superciliously. "I'll look into Beech's some time," he said, "and see what's appropriate!" They found little else to say to each other, but on the way to the Station Soames asked: "I suppose you find Irene very artistic." "Yes." The abrupt answer was as distinct a snub as saying: "If you want to discuss her you can do it with someone else!"

Beech's bill, as you promised, before you go into any new expense?" "Hush! hush! don't speak so loud. Leonard is in the next room; and I would not have him hear any thing of Beech's bill, just when the man's here about the balcony, for any thing in the world!"
