He looked round at the straggling workpeople, who represented the harmonisation of classes, keeping to themselves as if they had been there alone. "Yes," Annie was obliged to say; "it's very pleasant." She added: "You must all be rather hungry, Mr. Brandreth. If the Social Union ever gets on its feet, it will have you to thank more than any one." "Oh, don't speak of me, Miss Kilburn!
Brandreth made Annie assent to the superiority of her cottage in detail. She recapitulated the different facts of the architecture and furnishing, from each of which she seemed to acquire personal merit, and she insisted that Percy should show some of them again. "We think it's a little picture," she concluded, and once more Annie felt obliged to murmur her acquiescence. At last Mrs.
"I don't suppose they do, but I don't know," said Annie dryly; and she replied by helplessly quoting Mr. Brandreth: "They intend to organise a system of lectures, concerts, and readings. They wish to get on common ground with them." "They can never get on common ground with them in that way," said the minister.
The "humbug" in this transaction, of course consisted solely in the manner of advertising. There was no humbug or deception about the article manufactured. In the year 1834, Dr. Benjamin Brandreth commenced advertising in the city of New York, "Brandreth's Pills specially recommended to purify the blood."

However, unlike our modern M. D.s, the latter was in the habit of re-appearing after death, in this temple, and there holding forth to the faithful on various topics of domestic medicine.
"Yes," she said, with confusion, while the flash of conjecture faded away. "Mr. Brandreth," said her visitor, whom she now saw to be much younger than Mr. Peck could be. He looked not much more than twenty-two or twenty-three; his damp hair waved and curled upon his temples and forehead, and his blue eyes lightened from a beardless and freshly shaven face.
She gave up the part instantly when she heard that Miss Northwick wished to change her mind, but all the same I know ." He stopped, and Annie said encouragingly: "Yes, I see. But perhaps she doesn't really care." "That's what she said," returned Mr. Brandreth ruefully. "But I don't know.
