The little learning she had absorbed was sufficient to bestow upon her an angry consciousness of her own invincible ignorance. Meanwhile, Miss Ramsbotham had continued upon her course of rejuvenation. At twenty-nine she had looked thirty-five; at thirty-two she looked not a day older than five-and-twenty.
Then, at some such point of the argument, Miss Ramsbotham would jump up from her chair and shake herself indignantly. "Why, what nonsense I'm talking," she would tell herself, and her listeners. "I make a very fair income, have a host of friends, and enjoy every hour of my life.
Reginald Peters older, and the possessor, perhaps, of more sense looked at Miss Ramsbotham with new eyes, and now not tolerated but desired her. Bohemia waited to assist at the happy termination of a pretty and somewhat novel romance. Miss Ramsbotham had shown no sign of being attracted elsewhere. Flattery, compliment, she continued to welcome; but merely, so it seemed, as favourable criticism.
"We expect very shortly very shortly indeed," explained Peter Hope, "to turn the corner." "Ah! that 'corner," sympathised Miss Ramsbotham. "I confess," smiled Peter Hope, "it doesn't seem to be exactly a right- angled corner. One reaches it as one thinks. But it takes some getting round what I should describe as a cornery corner."
"I am glad you didn't marry him," said the bosom friend. "So am I," agreed Miss Ramsbotham. "If you can't trust me," had said the bosom friend at this point, "don't." "I meant to do right," said Miss Ramsbotham, "upon my word of honour I did, in the beginning." "I don't understand," said the bosom friend.

Otherwise I should have my doubts," added Miss Fossett, as she folded up the letter and replaced it in her bag. "Id is love!" was the explanation of Dr.
"My dear," cheerfully replied Miss Ramsbotham, "it would have to be an eye of the range and capacity Sam Weller frankly owned up to not possessing a patent double-million magnifying, capable of seeing through a deal board and round the corner sort of eye to detect any beauty in me. And I am much too big and sensible for any man not a fool ever to think of wanting to take care of me.
I appealed to his generosity, if there be room for generosity about a trout no bigger than a gudgeon! I talked to Mr. Calcott, who, I thought, had more sense, but Justice Shallow would have been more practicable! No one took a rational view but Ramsbotham of the factory, a very sensible man, with excellent feeling.
Ramsbotham asserted, in a Lecture at the London Hospital, that he had known the disease spread through a particular district, or be confined to the practice of a particular person, almost every patient being attacked with it, while others had not a single case.
