Ann wore a smart gingham dress, and her first exclamation was: "Why, Jake! how nice you look. And so you know all about it, too?" "About what?" "I see you don't," said she. "I was too fast; but it makes no difference. I know you are willing to lend me a helping hand."

Of course she was not obliged to answer it, and indeed she scarcely understood it.
