"Law, Mis' Roxby!" he could only exclaim, in his horror and contrition at this picture he had thus conjured up. "Ye air welcome ter call me ennything ye air a mind ter," he protested. And then he gasped once more. The eyes of the guest, contemptuous, amused, seeing through him, were fixed upon him.
