There's the widow Larkum, if she'd kept single, she'd have been young and blooming now. Human folks is many of them very poor witted," Thomas concluded, with fine scorn, and then he was silent. My thoughts went off in eager surprise over that strange episode in Mr.
The primer was gladly laid aside, while the children came coyly to my side, quite certain there was a delectable bite for them somewhere in my pockets. I dismissed that care from my mind by dividing the sweets, and then gave Mrs. Larkum her lunch. She sat enjoying the dainty food, sharing now and then a taste with the little ones, who had a keen appreciation for Oaklands' cookery.

I acknowledged, with a slight crimsoning of cheek, that I had conveyed to Mrs. Larkum a small sum of money.

"You find us a little cold to-day," he said, as if it were the merest accident; "but wood has given out, and the morning seems rather cool." I looked at him in amazement. How could he speak so calmly under the circumstances? "How is Mrs. Larkum, to-day?" "Pretty low, I am sorry to say. The doctor says she needs beef-tea and wine." "It's easy for doctors to prescribe."
