It is therefore a rare circumstance for any person to have a house-dog with him in the streets. It would be necessary to carry the creature continually, and even then a number of these unbidden guests would follow, barking and howling incessantly.

It is not so! The real Daphnis comes; I hear his steps; he has left the deluding town; he hastens to my longing arms!"
Her languid interest in the engagement of the groom seemed to be completely exhausted and that was all. She rose, in her easy graceful way, and looked out of the window at the courtyard and fountain, the house-dog in his kennel, and the box of flowers in the coachman's window. In the meanwhile, the groom remained near the table, respectfully waiting for his dismissal.
I s'pose you know the bonds ain't reached fifty this fall. I'm not so tremendously wealthy as folks think."
