He betrays a spark of Oriental vanity by having an attendant follow behind, bearing a huge and wonderful sun-shade, into the make-up of which peacock feathers and other gorgeous material largely enters.

Give me one kiss, and I'll go get my sun-shade." "Can't, Dotty Dimpwill! My mamma's kiss I'll keep; it's ahind my mouf; she's gone to 'Dusty. "Well, 'keep it ahind your mouf, then; and here's another to put with it. What do you s'pose makes me love to kiss you so?"
If I had not thought that it would be as grateful to you as to me to be released, be sure I would not have come and spoken to you while you were lying on a sick-bed. Now, I promised Mr. Mangan not to talk too much nor to agitate you," said she, as she rose, and smoothed her sun-shade, and made ready to depart.
"Oh, you mustn't," she said. "Why not?" "Because I like it," she laughed. Next day after dinner they took their rugs and cushions to the fountain, and their books; but they did not read.
