To this Ugolina assented fully, adding, that she had been so shocked by the suddenness and horror of the news, as to have become perfectly incapacitated ever since for any high order of thought. Lactimel, whose soft bosom could not endure the idea of putting an end to the life of a fellow-creature, suggested perpetual banishment to the penal colonies; perhaps Norfolk Island.
'Only think, continued Lactimel, with a soft pathetic drawl, 'they have none to feed them, none to clothe them, none to do for them! 'It is a great question, said Ugolina, 'whether promiscuous charity is a blessing or a curse. It is probably the greatest question of the age. I myself am inclined to think 'But, ma, said Madame Jaquetanape, 'Mrs.

'It would be much easier, and more important too, to keep their minds nicely, said Ugolina; and there the pigs could never get in. 'No; I suppose not, said Katie. 'I don't know that, said Lactimel.
