"I wasn' complaining," said the woman; "I was just remarking. How's Maria?" "She's nicely, thank you." "And the children?" "Brave." "I've put up sixpennyworth of nicey in four packets that's one apiece and I've written the name on each, for you to take home to 'em." She fumbled in her reticule and produced the packets.
"I have received a dispatch," Mrs. Bundercombe announced, drawing a letter with pride from an article that I believe she called her reticule, "signed by the secretary of the Women's League of Freedom, asking me to address their members at a meeting to be held at Leeds to-night." "Very gratifying!" I murmured. "How the woman knew that I was in England," Mrs.
What have I got to sign?" "That's it," said Andy, with eager hand drawing a written sheet from his pocket. Miss Lavinia opened the document, read it through, went to the table, took a fountain pen from her reticule, signed the paper, returned it to Andy. "I'm dreaming! it's a plot of some kind!" murmured Andy, lost in wonderment. Miss Lavinia took out her pocket-book.
I might come in to buy something some shares or some railroad things. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS PLAN. I would carry a little reticule, like a woman of the people." In spite of the suggestion about the reticule, Morris appeared to think poorly of the plan, for he gave Mrs.

I was after it instantly; caught it, and with best bow presented it. "Permit me, madam." She took it. "Thank you, sir." For a moment she paused to restore it to its company; and I grasped the occasion.
Nothing could have been more delicious. They had but to close the sliding door to shut themselves off from the whole world.

To his horror, Yerba ran impulsively forward, and said eagerly: "Is he better? Can he see us now?" The woman halted an instant, seemed to gather the prayer-book and reticule she was carrying closer to her breast, but was otherwise unchanged. Replying to Paul rather than the young girl, she said rigidly: "The patient is able to see Mr. Hathaway and Miss Yerba Buena," and passed slowly on.
Whereupon she put the question: 'Will the spirits converse with this gentleman? At all events, thought I, the term 'gentleman' applies to the next world, which is a comfort.
