Has it never occurred to you that I might entertain a certain veneration for your opinion on a limited number of subjects?" Olga set down the coffee-urn and squarely turned upon him. "Have you seen her this morning?" she asked him point-blank. "Yes, I have seen her," he said.
Setting aside the wine and brandy, the entertainment was of the most liberal character, and the whole arrangement extremely elegant. At each end of the table stood a large coffee-urn, surrounded with cups, the meaning of which was not long a mystery to the company. After the terrapin, oysters, salad, and their accompaniments, Mr.
Bowdoin got up hurriedly, and, nodding to the orange-woman, shuffled into his house. But it was too late; Mrs. Bowdoin sat rigid behind the coffee-urn. Harley looked up with a twinkle in his eye.
