There was something in the earnestness of her manner which made a facetious compliment seem grossly inappropriate, and in the moment no other escape suggested itself. "But what?" demanded Bertha, mercilessly. "Have you ever lost an old friend?" asked he, abruptly. "Yes; how so?"
"Her face is so neat," Mellicent said to herself; and the adjective was not inappropriate, for Peggy's small features looked as though they had been modelled by the hand of a fastidious artist, and the air of dainty finish extended to her hands and feet and slight, graceful figure.
