Well, I don't blame Joel for feeling exercised."
I was doomed to endure those of my exemplary mother-in-law, Mrs. Delaney. That woman had her devil a worse devil, though not more troublesome, I think, than mine. She said to me, when she heard of my purpose of removal: "You are right to remove. It is only prudent. Pity you had not gone some months ago."

"What name?" Fatty queried.
"Take my portmanteau in immediately, if you please," she said, "and pray tell me if your master is at home." "Yes, madam," was the grave reply. "But Mr. Delaney is not seeing company at present."
