This is a pretty fine place the young folks have got here," he added, gazing admiringly at the paintings and bookcases. "Yes," assented the lady, condescendingly. "For an apartment it is really quite livable." "Livable!"
Minford, kindly, but condescendingly, "you are just in time to hear good news. "Glad to hear it, sir," answered the boy Bog, blushing hard, lifting his eyes from the floor long enough to glance at Mr. Minford and his daughter, and all the while slapping his knees vigorously.

But Billy and Mark were not mentioned again, though a deep gravity seemed to have settled into the eyes of the family since their names had come up. Laurie decided to speak of the weather and the roads: "Glorious weather we're having," he chirped out condescendingly, "But you certainly have the limit for roads. What's the matter with the highway?

You should hear Peggy Walker on that subject." "I am quite charmed with the estimation in which both you and my brother hold that wonderful woman," said Miss Harriett, condescendingly.
