She says he wanted a quiet wedding because he thought a fellow looked such a chump getting married! And I must love him, because he's all set to love me very much!" "Extraordinary!" Mr. Brewster put the letter down. "An Englishman!" "I have met some very agreeable Englishmen," said Professor Binstead. "I don't like Englishmen," growled Mr. Brewster. "Parker's an Englishman." "Your valet?" "Yes.
I believe he wears my shirts on the sly," said Mr. Brewster broodingly, "If I catch him ! What would you do about this, Binstead?" "Do?" The professor considered the point judiciary. "Well, really, Brewster, I do not see that there is anything you can do. You must simply wait and meet the man. Perhaps he will turn out an admirable son-in-law." "H'm!" Mr.
"Aren't you going to open it?" asked Professor Binstead, to whom a telegram was a telegram. "It can wait. I get them all day long. I expect it's from Lucille, saying what train she's making." "She returns to-day?" "Yes, Been at Miami." Mr. Brewster, having dwelt at adequate length on the contents of the chafing-dish, adjusted his glasses and took up the envelope.

Bembridge limestones, compact cream-coloured limestones alternating with shales and marls, in all of which land-shells are common, especially at Sconce, near Yarmouth, as described by Mr. F. Edwards. One of the bands is filled with a little globular Paludina. Anoplotherium commune. Binstead, Isle of Wight. Planorbis euomphalus, Sowerby. From this formation on the shores of Whitecliff Bay, Dr.

Samuel Knight made this ring In Binstead Steeple for to ding; or, Thomas Eyer and John Winslade did contrive To cast from four bells this peal of five; or, At proper times my voice I'll raise, And sound to my subscribers' praise.
Brewster declined to take an optimistic view. "But an Englishman, Binstead!" he said with pathos. "Why," he went on, memory suddenly stirring, "there was an Englishman at this hotel only a week or two ago who went about knocking it in a way that would have amazed you! Said it was a rotten place! MY hotel!" Professor Binstead clicked his tongue sympathetically. He understood his friend's warmth.
