With this view she purchased Culpepper's Midwifery, which with that sagacious performance dignified with Aristotle's name, she studied with indefatigable care; and diligently perused the Complete Housewife, together with Quincy's Dispensatory, culling every jelly, marmalade, and conserve which these authors recommend as either salutary or toothsome, for the benefit and comfort of her sister-in-law, during her gestation.

Your beautiful letters kept you always in my mind, and I used to take great pleasure in telling my schoolmates what a pretty mother I had." Alice, despite her years, blushed.

"I hope not, for my guests will be impatient to see a real live American ex-governor. Quincy's political advancement has been very rapid." "America is a rapid country, my dear," was Sir Stuart's comment. When Lady Fernborough reached her boudoir, she seated herself at her writing desk and wrote rapidly for nearly an hour.

Quincy's murderous instinct was again aroused, but Mr. Cass was unmindful of his danger and made the required entry.
Alice reassured by the words and the accompanying pressure of Quincy's hand exclaimed: "How delightful it was in the country, and how I enjoyed our visits. I shall always love Mason's Corner as it was called when " "I met my fate," her husband added. "My line fell in a pleasant place " "Don't call me a fish," said his wife, as she smiled half reprovingly.
