The presuming fool!" she exclaimed, as she passed through the hall, "he's worse than the other. One can put up with a coarse man, if he minds his own business; but an impudent, self-satisfied fellow must be made to know his place." "High-strung filly! ha!" "May have to speak to common folks, yet, eh, Miss Bridget?" But farther conversation was interrupted for the time.

She may pervert your letter to some use of her own, which you may have reason to regret." "Is that all?" "Isn't it enough?" "It may be enough for you.
