The old merchant started as if he had been shot. "Try not to be agitated," said Mr. King.
Sometimes I think poor Chloe's prayers bring me help from above; for the good soul is always praying for me. "Adieu. May the good God bless you both.

Tulipa, meanwhile, was waving a white towel with joyful energy, and when she came up to them, she half smothered them with hugs and kisses, exclaiming: "The Lord bless ye, Missy Rosy! The Lord bless ye, Missy Flory! It does Tulee's eyes good to see ye agin." She eagerly led the way through flowering thickets to a small lawn, in the midst of which was a pretty white cottage.
