"What cannot be remedied must be endured!" What a wealth of wisdom in the proverb!
She would apologize for her fussiness, and say that the reason why she was writing was that she did not want his mother to be made anxious. "My dear Laurie..." She bit her pen gently, and looked out of the window to catch inspiration for the particular frame of words with which she should begin.
Pepper; so did Bessie, though I must say she was very nervous and uncertain about it. "You know papa does not know him in in the character of a friend of mine," she said, hesitatingly.

When Alderman Stacy does a thing, he does it handsomely. This way, this way!" Hepworth seated himself in the carriage where Mrs.
