"Thriftless woman, would you prefer to beg?" "When the Major rode by," laughed Betty; "but when I heard you coming, I'd lie hidden among the briers, and I'd scatter signs for other gypsies that read, 'Beware the Montjoy."

"I believe, after all, I'll take to wearing white or black ones again." "What?" asked Champe, in astonishment, turning on his heel. "Have the skies fallen, or does Beau Montjoy forsake the fashions?"
