"Them birds would pick the nails offen yer boots if they was good ter eat." "They are ever so pretty," I said. "And oh! look at that poor little chap.

Her beauty and sweetness will at once wean my husband's love from this boy; and, moreover, children brought up together do you not see? that boy will become attached to one of the 'plebeian blood, and wedding her hereafter, scald to the core the proud heart of his mother, as she has scalded mine!" "Forget God!" repeated Helen once or twice "I forget God! Do you think I am a heathen?"
