Papas and mammas, and masters and misses, came trooping in; old ladies, and middle-aged; old gentlemen, and middle-aged until the number amounted to about thirty, and Cousin Con's drawing-rooms were comfortably filled.
He selected the second, passing under his inspection, and asked her to read it. She took the letter, wondering a little that it should be in Captain Con's handwriting. 'I am to read it through? she said, after a run over some lines. He nodded.
