Among the first things to attract the attention of this old-timer would be the web-perfecting press, capable of producing 25,000 impressions an hour, instead of the old hand press of 240 impressions an hour; the linotype machine, capable of setting 6,000 to 10,000 ems per hour, instead of the old hand compositor producing only 800 to 1,000 ems per hour, and the mailing machine, enabling one man to do the work of five or six under the old method.
Several letters lay beside her ready for mailing and as she glanced occasionally at the outer door she is evidently awaiting some person. The suspense is of short duration. A bright cheerful face is soon at her side. "You dear old coz, have I kept you long waiting?"
But I write this for fear you may hear some awful tales when that pair reach Gridley." As they left the restaurant, Dick returned to the post-office, mailing this second letter to his mother. "Now, we must buy a few things here," Dick explained to his friends. "Then we must get out of this village by a back road, and we must make sure that we don't run into that pair of ex-soreheads."
Let the creatures stay at a moderate mailing, and hae bite and soup; it will maybe be the better wi' your father whare he's gaun, lad." After these contradictory instructions, the Laird felt his mind so much at ease, that he drank three bumpers of brandy continuously, and "soughed awa," as Jenny expressed it, in an attempt to sing "Deil stick the Minister."

"Oh, Cora's all right, even if I am her brother." "She certainly is a star, if I may be pardoned the expression. Well, here's where I'm going to leave you. I've got to stop at the post-office. People have gotten into the habit lately, and a mean habit it is, of mailing me bills about the first of the month.
And those last words: "If in doubt, study Lady Sophia." Mailing was in doubt. Why not follow Stepton's advice? Why not study Lady Sophia? He resolved to do it.
