I have needed nothing for myself. All the handsome clothes you see me wear belong to my poor, miserable trousseau." She smiled bitterly as she said it, but there were no tears in her eyes and her voice was utterly calm. "What makes you think, then, that he may not continue to have plenty?" "A letter I read without his permission, though he left it on the table and probably didn't care.
As if, poor Nikky, it would ever make any difference who it was, so it were not he! Strangely enough, Hedwig also had had a fancy to visit the roof. She could not sleep. And, as she had not read the Chancellor's mind, her dressing-room, filled to overflowing with her trousseau, set her frantic. So she had dismissed her maid and gone through Hubert's rooms to the roof. Nikky found her there.

If he had enriched himself by the successful practice of his profession I had not encountered the buildings he had reared his reputation had not come to my ears. Mrs.

But that's only a week away," gasped Aunt Hannah. "Yes, a week." "But, child, your trousseau the wedding the the a week!" Aunt Hannah could not articulate further. "Yes, I know; that is a good while," cut in Bertram, airily. "We wanted it to-morrow, but we had to wait, on account of the new license law. Otherwise it wouldn't have been so long, and " But Aunt Hannah was gone.
