Verne was seated at a daintily-carved ebony work-table. A piece of silk lay upon her knee and many shades of crewel were spread out before her. "Busy, my dear?" queried the husband, greeting his wife in a pleasant, quiet way. Surely there must have been a mistake somewhere," returned Mrs.
Then, and not until then, the long over-stitch, the opus plumarium, which we call "Kensington," was invented, and served to make English embroidery famous in early English history.

'Meester Purdy, nevaire, nevaire come to eat in thees place again. She stayed with it too!" "Good for her!" said Mrs. Tiffany, reaching for her crewel work. "Oh, yes," responded Mr. Chester in the uncertain tone of one who gives assent for politeness without knowing exactly why.
"Dear, it must be true, then," said Grandmamma, taking another pinch. "What a pity! Be sure you do not forget the Paradise pudding." "Yes, Madam. They say, Madam, the Prince was nigh heart-broke that he couldn't come on." "Ah, I dare say. Poor young gentleman!" said Mrs Newton.
