But clever son John, meeting his indignant father on the threshold, soon made all that right by a word. "Well, if ever! why, stupid, I said Diddlington, not Darlington." Into the accuracy of this distinction it is needless to inquire: and then the ingenuous youth went on to observe
On both sides there had been the indulgence of rather more impatience and intolerance than was commendable. IN due time, Mrs. Darlington removed to a house in Arch Street, the annual rent of which was six hundred dollars, and there began her experiment.
Darlington, without betraying his secret, unless he were to leave the city at the same time. He, therefore, sought and obtained the situation of supercargo in a vessel loading for Valparaiso. When Edwin announced this fact to Mr. Darlington, the merchant was greatly surprised, and appeared hurt that the young man should take such a step without a word of consultation with him.
The railway owed its origin to George Stephenson and to Edward Pease, the wealthy Quaker and manufacturer of Darlington, both burly men, strong in mind as body.
"But, in truth, the choice of employment is not very great. Still, something with a fairer promise than taking boarders may be found." "If you can point me to some better way, brother," said Mrs. Darlington, "I shall feel greatly indebted to you." "Almost any thing is better. Suppose you and Edith were to open a school.

Esme Darlington has told me about them." "Mrs. Clarke's in London now." "Did you see her when you passed through?" "No, but I want to see her to-morrow. Rose, I'm going to tell you something which nobody else must know. I was asked to keep it entirely to myself, but I refused. I was resolved to tell you, because I don't believe in secrets between husband and wife about their doings, I mean."

Our week is up to-day where we are; and, if it is agreeable, we will become your guests to-morrow." "Perfectly agreeable, Mr. Ring." The gentleman bowed politely and retired. Now Mrs. Darlington did not feel very comfortable when she reflected on what she had done. The rooms in the second story were positively engaged to Mr. Scragg, and now one of them was as positively engaged to Mr. Ring.
