And she continued her song, which was an extempore one about the sea. "But that's no reason why you should burn the house down," said Sarah Brown. "That's what I thought," agreed Mr. Frere. "But water won't put out that flame."
Tovey, now afflicted with a lock of hair in each eye, seized the policeman by the shoulder thinking to prevent him from jumping out of the window. "You fool," he shouted. The Mayor slapped his thigh with a loud report. "Lawdy," he yelled. "She's a sport. She will 'ave 'er joke." Miss MacBee laughed hysterically and very loudly. Mr.

In fact, won't you come to supper with me? If some one will kindly lend me half-a-crown I will go on ahead and cook something." Mr. Tovey mechanically produced a coin.
The draught that intruded into the flat ruffled the neat hair of five persons, Miss Ford herself, Lady Arabel Higgins, Miss Ivy MacBee, Mr. Bernard Tovey, and Mr. Darnby Frere.

Facing these flames stood Miss Ford and Mr. Tovey, hand in hand, each singing a different song very earnestly.

Nobody had yet dared to tell him of the misfortune that had overtaken him. "I'll give up this Mayor job to-morrer. Catch me stayin' be'ind if oh, by the way, that reminds me " "I didn't need reminding," interrupted Sarah Brown.
Arthur Severn painted the sign, in neat blue letters; the window was decked with fine old china, bought from a Cavaliere near Siena, whose unique collection had been introduced to notice by Professor Norton; and Miss Harrie Tovey, an old servant of Denmark Hill, was established there, like Miss Mattie in "Cranford," or rather like one of the salaried officials of "Time and Tide," to dispense the unadulterated leaf to all comers.
