I sold my best table to a general, which gave me a lot of confidence, but my greatest triumph was a hat-rack. It was a barren, gaunt-looking affair, like a leafless tree in winter, but it was mahogany, and it was old. Two ladies who were excitedly buying tables spied it, and exclaimed in rapture. I rose to the occasion: "That is the most unusual piece I have," I unblushingly gushed.

But our indignation had grown hotter with the shake-up that we had just had, and as usual Jack was spokesman for it: "Maybe there is no occasion for alarm," he said excitedly, "but will you be kind enough to answer my question, and tell us what you're about and where we are going?" And Henry, too, who was ordinarily as mute as a clam, broke out still more hotly: "See here!

As they advanced new articles came in sight; a bench; a veritable chair, or couch, the covering of which was there merely to give it form, but the substance had gone.
"We are not safe a minute!" "You shall be!" Polly burst out excitedly. "I'm going to tell Mr. Randolph everything about it!" "Polly! Polly!" Miss Sterling laid a quieting hand on her shoulder.
