The confession, however, had the effect of mollifying poor Milliken and his wife: after the latter had learned that her mamma had no money at all at her London bankers', and had overdrawn her account there, Lavinia consented that Horace should advance her fifty pounds upon her ladyship's solemn promise of repayment.
Lady Gray gently interposed, and made, also, her little speech. It was her first and last advice, or request, to her guests and most of them were impressed by it. "Dear Miss Milliken, don't be troubled by 'being so far from civilization. You aren't that, at all. My husband has brought civilization with him. I am amazed at all he has accomplished.
So this is the dairy! What a fine one and away up here, where Milliken said there was 'no civilization! Do you know, Papa is getting quite anxious for a stock farm? We think it's so queer for a man who knows nothing but banking, but some doctor told him it would be fine for his health. If he has cattle, I suppose we'll have a dairy.
Start right in on Revelations, where you belong," put in Samantha; for to see a man unexpectedly loaded to the muzzle with news, and too lazy to fire it off, was enough to try the patience of a saint; and even David Milliken would hardly have applied that term to Samantha Ann Ripley. "Give a feller time to think, will yer?" expostulated Jabe, with his mouth full of pie.

"No. She knows some people here in Denver and they met her at the station and carried her off to dine with them. I wish she'd get belated and left behind. She was a regular kill-joy all the way out." "Poor, meek, timid woman!
I am glad you like it." "Your wedding dress," said Mrs. Star, reflectively. "I think I heard you had married a naturalist prehistoric bones, is it not? Very interesting subject so inspiring. Milliken" to the footman, who opened the door on their arrival at the opera house "you may keep the carriage here. I shall not be more than half an hour."
He sagged back into his seat; and at that moment there came another tap on the door which, opening, revealed the sinister face of the holiday-making Peters. "Good morning, Mr. Samuel," said Jno. Peters. "Good morning, Miss Milliken. Oh!" He vanished as abruptly as he had appeared.
