The famous garden was dismantled now and Job Legg spent some daily hours in digging there. To-morrow Job was to hear what Mrs. Northover had to say concerning his proposal, and, meantime, the pending decision neither unsettled him nor interfered with his usual placidity and enterprise. Nelly Northover herself waited upon the engaged couple.

Or I should say my second, because in the natural course of events, you were the first." She sighed again and Mr. Legg left this delicate ground. "If the man can only be brought to see he's wrong about his fanciful opinion of 'The Tiger, all may go right for you," he continued. "I don't care for his feelings over-much, but your peace of mind I do consider.

But her moods were understood by her staff, and if her emotional quality did injustice, an innate sense of what was reasonable ultimately righted the wrong. Sarah helped Job Legg and others to prepare for the coming party, while Mrs. Northover roamed the herbaceous border and cut flowers to decorate the table.

This witness had acted as a strikebreaker up until the time he was subpoenaed. Two of the defendants, Benjamin F. Legg and Jack Leonard, fully verified the story told by Billings. Leland Butcher, an I. W. W. member who was on the Verona, told of how he had been shot in the leg.

Legg provided a needle and thread and produced a very excellent tea. Abel enjoyed the swing for some time, but would not let Estelle help him.

He was equally glowing with satisfaction when he visited the tavern again in 1667.

The queen, being ill of a slight fever, was yet in bed: but the king, all impatient to see the bride which heaven had sent him, sought admittance to her chamber.
