Reformers want to be older men, better men, men like your father, for instance, if people are to listen to them." "Father says they need to be men who understand the nature of those they are talking to," replied Esther; and you once told me that you understood Moshier and Crayme perfectly." "But just think of what they are, Ettie," pleaded Fred.
Is it not bad enough that one of these people come courting my Ettie, and that I dare not turn him down, but that I should have another for my boarder? Yes, indeed, you shall not sleep here after to-night!" McMurdo found himself under sentence of banishment both from his comfortable quarters and from the girl whom he loved.
"I think, Ettie, that if you were to leave us alone we could get this thing settled," said McMurdo quietly. "Or maybe, Mr. Baldwin, you will take a turn down the street with me. It's a fine evening, and there's some open ground beyond the next block." "I'll get even with you without needing to dirty my hands," said his enemy.
Sykes had absolutely no comments to make. And when Ethel opened her letters and found among them an invitation to take a buggy-drive, commencing "Dear Miss," Mrs. Sykes still held her peace, a fact that was full of significance.

Shafter had relented to the extent of letting McMurdo come to his meals there when he liked; so that his intercourse with Ettie was by no means broken. On the contrary, it drew closer and more intimate as the weeks went by.
"I have told you, have I not, that you are too late? There is another, and if I have not promised to marry him at once, at least I can promise no one else." "Suppose I had been first, Ettie, would I have had a chance?" The girl sank her face into her hands. "I wish to heaven that you had been first!" she sobbed. McMurdo was down on his knees before her in an instant.
Presently Bobbie began to gasp. "Well, upon my word!" he put the letter down "upon my word!" He turned to his sweetheart. "Ettie! you marry me in a month! mind that! Hang Berlin! I scorn their mean proposals. London requires me." He drew himself up. And walking across to her, he stooped and kissed her. Then he beckoned to Ettie to do the same.
"Of course she believes it," my witch answered. "She has no more doubt about that than about anything else. Doubts are not in her line.
