We were just sitting down when some one pounded on the door and a deep authoritative voice called out, "You're to lodge a general and two officers!"

"Just now as I was coming downstairs it was almost startling. He is a good-looking boy." "Be careful not to foul," he admonished her. "You should have the spider-rest."
