'What a glorious name Magnolia is! interposed little Toole in great haste; for it was a practice among these worthies to avert quarrels very serious affairs in these jolly days by making timely little diversions, and it is wonderful, at a critical moment, what may be done by suddenly presenting a trifle; a pin's point, sometimes at least, a marvellously small one will draw off innocuously, the accumulating electricity of a pair of bloated scowling thunder-clouds.
