He offered her his arm, and they proceeded slowly to the entrance. She chatted gaily, blushing not in the long avenue of eyes she passed through. All the youths, under her spell, were now quite oblivious of the relatives they had come to meet. Parents, sisters, cousins, ran unclaimed about the platform. Undutiful, all the youths were forming a serried suite to their enchantress.
We were under the impression at one time that we ourselves knew something just a little about statutory and common law, but after paying attention to the legal points of one or two plays we found that we were mere children at it.
