He laughed at her words, but refused to go on with the subject. "I was only teasing you a little," he said. "It gladdens me even to see you put yourself in a temper, Mary it brings back old times when we were always such good friends, and sometimes had such grand quarrels." Mary also laughed, and rang the bell for afternoon tea.

"I make them lie with me sometimes, for I am very tired of the ladies of the town, of their coquetries, of their jealousies, of their quarrels, of their humours, of their pettinesses, of their prides, of their follies, and of the sonnets which one must make, or have made, for them. But after all, these two girls begin to weary me."
A union, so hasty and ill-considered, was not likely to be of long duration. With the help of the worthy Baroness the newly married couple started a grocery business.

"You will die in a hospital," said the wife.
