Morris nervous, drained her mind's treasury, and sent her conversational powers borrowing and begging; Isabel it awed; Arthur it tantalized; to Godfrey it was an appetizing drollery; but to Ruth it was dearer and clearer than all spoken eloquence.

There was a pleasant drollery about her conduct, and about the intense delight of the child, and her hearty enjoyment of the feast, which for the time effectually dissipated my fears and my melancholy thoughts. It was the last hour I should spend in my solitary room; my lonely days were past.

"Dead, perhaps, like dad," thought Mary. Yes, dead perhaps, and all his fun and drollery suddenly fallen into silence and buried with him. "Isn't life queer!" she thought.

The two guests looked at each other with a growing drollery on either face, and presently broke into a laugh. "Ah!" said the doctor, as the three rose up, "you juz kip dad cog-an'-bull fo' yo' negs summon." Père Jerome's eyes lighted up "I goin' to do it!"
