After being announced he was shown directly up to Mrs.
"Well, what do you wish, sir?" he said, in a tone that was far from being encouraging, at the same time gaining an unfavorable impression from Haldane's dress.

An old colored man, the husband of the negress who had assisted Haldane in his watch, now appeared and announced breakfast. It was a comparatively silent meal, little Bertha doing most of the talking. Amy would not have touched a mouthful had it not been for Haldane's persuasion.
The idea of a part of his business machinery making such a jarring tumult in his own house! He proposed to instantly cast away the cause of friction, and insert a more stolid human cog-wheel in Haldane's place. But when his wife said, in a tone which she rarely used: "Mr.

Otherwise I'd be glad to be in it." "Poor child!" said Haldane, tears coming into his eyes. "Ah!" she gasped, "will God pity me like that?"
