When we say that cooking is thoroughly wholesome, delicious, and artistic, we can say no more." "You do me proud," said La Fleur, "and I hope, madam, that you may eat many a meal of my cooking. I want to say this, too: I could not cook for Dr. and Mrs. Tolbridge as I do, if I did not feel that they appreciate my work. I know they do, and so I am encouraged to do my best."
She would be entirely out of place in a house like this." "Her looks were enough to settle her case," said Dora. "You never saw such an old witch; she would frighten the horses." "Kitty Tolbridge," said Miss Panney, severely, "did you ask that woman if she wanted high wages, if she required kitchen maids, if she would be satisfied to cook for your family?"
The roads are bad, the air is raw, and she would keep me nobody knows how late. I want to go to bed early to-night." "And that is what you are going to do," said Mrs. Tolbridge. He looked at her inquiringly. "Harry," said she, "you have been up nearly all night.
"And while we are talking about servants," said Dora, whose ebullient mind now found a chance to bring in the subject which was most prominent within it, "I should think that the new people at Cobhurst would find it troublesome to get the right sort of service." "Perhaps so," replied Mrs. Tolbridge, "although I have a fancy they are going to have a very independent household, at least for a time.
About the middle of the next forenoon, Miss Panney tied her horse in front of the Tolbridge house and entered unceremoniously, as she was in the habit of doing.

I used to know Captain Drane, and was slightly acquainted with his family. I heard of their misfortune through a friend in Pennsylvania, and as I knew that La Fleur took such an interest in the family, I mentioned it to her.

Miriam jumped to her feet, with an expression of alarm on her countenance, which amused the doctor and her brother. "Oh, please, Mrs. Tolbridge, don't do that!" she exclaimed. "Truly, I could not have a great cook like La Fleur in our kitchen.
