Who do you suppose sent them?" she entreated him so sweetly that it would have softened any heart but the heart of a tease.
A blight fell upon the gay spirits of the group, and the shoeman asked with an ironical glance after Gregory's retreating figure, "Owna of this propaty?" "No, just the ea'th," said the big girl, angrily. The voice of Clementina made itself heard with a cheerfulness which had apparently suffered no chill, but was really a rising rebellion.

"Them feet was made for them slippas," said the shoeman devoutly. The clerk was silent; he put his hand helplessly to his mouth, and then dropped it at his side again.
The chef looked up as if surprised to find her still there. "Oh! Oh, yes! Who d' I think? Why, I know, Boss. But I don't believe I'd betta tell you." "Oh, do, Mr. Mahtin!
