"You should have been with me in Chicago, Cora at my cousin, Pearl Graves', house. I tried to get Pearl she's just about our age to come to Lakeview Hall; but she goes to a private school right in her neighborhood oh! a very select place. No girl like this wild Western person Polk is talking about, would be received there. No, indeed!"

Keep your place, sir; keep your place. A poor girl's a poor girl, and a Deemster's a Deemster." "Yes, sir," said Thomas, suddenly firing up, "and a man's a man.
