Mary Ellen's smile broadened. The Major expressed a polite hope that she was quite well. He thought of shaking hands with her, and wished that he had brought a pair of gloves with him, Mary Ellen's hands were certainly dirty and they looked hot. But he was not obliged to shake hands. Mary Ellen realised that he was a kind of man new to her, one who did not want a drink.
Such beautiful Bibles she had never seen; she pored in ecstasy over their varieties of type and binding, and was very evidently in love with them all. "Now, Ellen," said Mrs. Montgomery, "look and choose; take your time, and see which you like best." It was not likely that Ellen's "time" would be a short one.

"Yes, Ellen." The front room had been well rid up after the funeral and everybody at Ellen's earnest entreaty had left them quite alone.
