She got no walk that evening, and received no assurance of undying affection either from one suitor or the other. It became manifest even to Neefit himself that the game could not be played out on this evening. He could not turn Moggs off the premises, because his wife would have interfered.
There isn't a better fellow breathing than Ontario Moggs, in his own way. But he's not company for you, Mr. Newton, of course." Ralph quailed at this. To be told that his own boot-maker wasn't "company" for him, and that by the young lady whom he intended to make his wife! "I don't think he is company for you either Polly," he said.
