"Except that I did not mention the names of the other two culprits," said Mr Branscombe. "My son did not even name them to me." "Munger was not so particular. He says Clipstone suggested the affair, and assisted Branscombe to carry it out; while he himself held the light and helped drag Mr Bickers into the boot-box. That was what I had come to report to you now, sir," added he to the head-master.
Savor; I'll find a place for her, and then you can go out with me." "I guess you won't get Maria away from her very easy," said Mr. Savor, laughing. His wife stood with the child's cheek pressed tight against hers. "Oh, I'll manage that," said Mrs. Munger. "I'm counting on Mrs. Savor."
Munger concluded, "we could drop the invited supper and the dance, and simply have the theatricals." She bent upon Mr. Gerrish a face of candid deference that filled him with self-importance almost to bursting. "No!" he said, shaking his head, and "No!" closing his lips abruptly, and opening them again to emit a final "No!" with an explosive force which alone seemed to save him. "Not at all, Mrs.
Wilmington was dressed in a light morning dress with a Watteau fall, whose delicate russets and faded reds and yellows heightened the richness of her complexion and hair. "Why, Annie," she said, "how glad I am to see you! And you too, Mrs. Munger. How vurry nice!" Her words took value from the thick mellow tones of her voice, and passed for much more than they were worth intrinsically.
Munger, if that's who you are looking for, and we live together. She's not back yet, so the woman down-stairs has just told me. Are you from Rosenthal's?" "I am." He had edged nearer, his fingers within reach of the knob, his lids narrowing as he studied her face and movements. "Did they find the lace the mantilla?" "Not as I heard," he answered, noting her anxiety. "That's what brought me down.
Munger is telling round that she don't see how you can live through the summer at the rate you're going. She's got it down pretty cold about your taking Brother Peck's idea of the invited dance and supper, and joining hands with him to save the vanity of the self-respecting poor.
Laimbeer, the only Republican member from the city, rose, made an impassioned speech on this condition of things, moved a committee to examine and report, and named as its members Judge Munger, myself, and the Democratic senator from the Buffalo district, Mr. Humphrey.
"You'll have to tell him sooner or later, Mrs. Munger!" said Mrs. Gerrish, with overweening pleasure in her acquaintance with both of these superior people. "He'll get it out of you anyway." Her husband looked at her, and she fell silent. Mrs. Munger swept her with a tolerant smile as she looked up at Putney.
Putney asked Annie if she had seen Lyra Wilmington lately. Annie told of her call with Mrs. Munger, and Mrs. Putney said: "I like Lyra, and I always did. I presume she isn't very happily married; he's too old; there couldn't have been any love on her part. But she would be a better woman than she is if she had children. Ralph says," added Mrs.

He stopped, and seemed preparing to launch some deadly phrase at Mrs. Wilmington, but he only said, "You're all right, Lyra." "Mrs. Munger," said Mr. Gerrish, "we must be going. Good night, ma'am.
