Here every morning he dealt with his correspondence; while Hendy, in the main room of the Bank, unlocked the safe, fetched out the ready cash and the ledgers, and generally made preparations before opening the door for business on the stroke of ten. Five or six letters awaited Mr Pamphlett.
Surely this is a far better state of things than the perpetual carpings of Popes and Addisons, Smiths and Johnsons, Foxes and Pitts." "And all owing to the rising influence of the female sex," interposed Miss Hendy. "But woman has not yet received her full development.
"It's a pity she's an ass," suggested Mr Pitskiver. "I can't help thinking that that's a drawback." "What? what is a drawback, my dear sir?" "That femininity, as Miss Hendy calls it, should be brought so prominently forward in the person of an ass." "An ass? I don't understand! Are you serious?" "Serious! to be sure, my dear Bristles.
By the by, you haven't sent me Stickleback's jack-ass as you promised. Is it a fine work?" I shall express these ideas in print. Stickleback's fame is secured by a stupendous ass, at once so simple and so grand." "A female, I think you said?" enquired Miss Hendy.

Millie looked pensively about her with vague disapproval. Her eyebrows were up. It seemed as if anything might happen; as if at any moment they might all begin running in different directions.
"Well, Rosanna," she said, "I wonder what your grandmother will say to me when she finds out that I have given you permission to go to Fontaine Ferry? I know you will have a splendid time. I have never been there myself, and I am sorry that I can't go today. I am obliged to take the six o'clock train for the country. Cousin Hendy has sent for me post haste. She says she is at the point of death.
"I have had a very particular conversation with Miss Hendy," he said, laying his hand confidentially on the great critic's shoulder. "An extraordinary woman!" chimed in Bristles, "the glory of the present times."
The arteries, veins, and nerves had not undergone any alteration, but the lymphatics were very much dilated and loaded with lymph. The third case was from Fabricius Hildanus, and the fourth from Hendy. Unfortunately there is no medical description of the case on record, but the photograph is deemed worthy of reproduction.
