They were quite decent, with one exception, a sour-looking captain, and were rather amused than otherwise, even allowing a Frenchwoman to make me some coffee.
He walked by the side of her pony up the avenue; and while she was receiving the salutations of the rest of the family, he took occasion to notice the fat coachman, to pat the sleek carriage-horses, and, above all, to say a civil word to my lady's gentlewoman, the prim, sour-looking vestal in the chariot. I had no more of his company for the rest of the morning.
Condy," said one, "how can she bear the loss of that sweet little fellow!" "Other people have lost children as well as she," remarked a sour-looking dame.

I must say Chautauqua will bear off the palm for getting together a most respectable-looking, well-behaved 'rabble! That is what I overheard a sour-looking old gentleman, who doesn't approve of having a president or of letting him come to a religious meeting, I don't know which say would rush in to-day. It certainly is a remarkably orderly 'rush. Girls, look at Dr. Vincent!
