Brother and sister examined together the Court Guide they had purchased on the occasion at once of their largest outlay and most thrilling gratification; in it they certainly found the name of General Fellingham. "But he can't be related to a newspaper-writer," said Mrs. Cavely. To which her brother rejoined, "Unless the young man turned scamp. I hate unproductive professions."

Cavely; "and it shall be our table for good if I have any management." "You mean me, ma'am," bellowed Tinman. "Not at all," she breathed, in dulcet contrast. "You are good-looking, Martin, but you have not half such pretty eyes as the person I mean. I never ventured to dream of managing you, Martin. I am thinking of the people at Elba." "But why this extraordinary treatment of me, Martha?"
And then he sells me my house at an advanced price, and I buy, and then he votes against a penny for the protection of the shore! And we're in Winter again! As if he was not in my power!"

Mrs. Cavely promised she would do so. She informed her brother how little Jane had confided to her that they were called "close," and how little Jane had vowed she would the willing little thing! go about letting everybody know their kindness. "Yes! Ah!" Tinman inhaled the praise. "No, no; I don't want to be puffed," he said. "Remember cook.
