Then some one, who of course could not foresee the result, asked Arabella if she would show them some of her Canadian sketches.
That night Clorinda bade her sister appear. "Sometimes I do not command it always but sometimes you must show yourself to our guests. My lord will not be pleased else. He says it is not fitting that his wife's sister should remain unseen as if we hid her away through ungraciousness. Your woman will prepare for you all things needful.

We are such simple people that we don't expect " Miss Hitchcock blushed at the challenge, and interrupted to save the speech from its final ungraciousness. "Of course, but we are different. We have always been so interested in Dr. Sommers. He was such a promising man." Alves made no effort to reply.
