Hazleby at a Consecration I should as soon think of asking Gillespie Grumach. 'It is for the Major's sake, of course, said Helen; 'he will like to come. 'Ay, but he is not coming, he cannot get leave, said Elizabeth; 'if he was, I should not mind it so much, but it is only Mrs. Hazleby and the girls, for she has the grace to bring Lucy, on Mamma's special invitation. But only think of Mrs.
Hazleby had taken possession of the cream-jug, which had accompanied the coffee, and was consoling the offender by pouring some of its contents into a saucer for him. 'But I thought it was water that mad dogs refuse, said Mrs. Dale. 'Mad dog! cried Mrs. Hazleby, 'he is as mad as I am, I fancy; it was quite enough to make him bite when Edward there was pulling his ears.
Full of spirits, you see rather too, much of it; but I should not be surprised any day At this moment Winifred came running up, to cry, 'Look, Aunt Hazleby, at the basket of balls; I have been to the house to fetch them, and now the boys are going away to the cricket-ground, and the girls are to have a famous game at play.
