Thus, when Mandy so far forgot herself as to address her as Viney Raymond, the new free woman's head went up and she said with withering emphasis: "Mis' Viney Allen, if you please!"

"Ben 'longs to de Raymonds, an' his name Ben Raymond an' you his wife.
Meanwhile, the time was being passed chiefly in noticing the children various little Raymonds, nephews and nieces of Lady Mallinger's with her own three girls, who were always allowed to appear at this hour.
She could not but hope that, as Madame Oge was so ill-informed about the affairs of Monsieur Pascal, and of the Raymonds, who were of her own colour, she might be mistaken about the whole of her news. "You are smiling," repeated Madame Oge. "Though you stoop your head over your work, I see that you have some droll thought."
It was George who poisoned Honoria's ear; George's shame and Honoria's pride would explain why the whisper had never gone further; and nothing else would explain. Did his mother guess this? He believed so at times, but they never spoke of it. The lame child was often in the Raymonds' kitchen. Lizzie did not forbid or resent this.

The young Travillas and Raymonds speedily grew quite intimate and were mutually pleased; but the latter, fatigued with the journey and excitements of the day, were ready to retire at an early hour.
Edward noticed it, and looked at her in displeased surprise; then, becoming aware of the absence of the Raymonds, asked, "Where are Max, Lulu, and Gracie?" He had not heard the story of their disgrace, having come to the supper-room a little later than the others, and directly from his own. For a moment the question, addressed to no one in particular, remained unanswered; then Mr.
