"Oh, indeed!" said Mr. Cassilis, with a sudden, sharp glance, "to what do you refer?" "Goose-berries, sir!" "I ah beg your pardon?"
The fear may have come to Malvina that she was doomed never to be rid of Commander Raffleton's coat. "I wonder," mused the Professor, "if anyone in the village " The little serving maid flittering among the gooseberry bushes she was pretending to be gathering goose-berries caught the Professor's eye.
