The widow took the little sailor towards Chatham, where he was to find a steamboat for Sheerness; the lawyer, with an extremely knowing look, went his own way, without committing himself by announcing his intentions; two more struck off by the cathedral and old castle for Maidstone; and the book-pedler accompanied me over the bridge.
These thoughts were in her mind as she opened the door. But no Mrs. Smith presented her figure to the old lady's gaze. She saw instead, with considerable surprise, a stylish young man with a book under his arm. She jumped to the conclusion that he was a book-pedler, having been annoyed by several persistent specimens of that class of travelling merchants.

Kensington for he was the young man in question laughed heartily, while the old lady stared at him half amazed, half angry. "I don't see what there is to laugh at," said she, offended. "I was laughing at the idea of my being taken for a book-pedler."
I approved of the plan exceedingly, and began to sum up within my mind the many uncommon felicities in the life of a book-pedler, especially when his character resembled that of the individual before me.
I don't spend quarter as much as you on dress." Looking at the old lady'a faded bombazine dress, Ferdinand was very ready to believe this. "You don't have to dress here, I suppose," he answered. "But, aunt, we won't talk about money matters just yet. It was funny you took me for a book-pedler." "It was that book you had, that made me think so."
