My Melindy wants a new silk for a Christmas party, and as I am very particularly interested in her doing herself credit on the occasion, I want it made under my own supervision. You see, Mrs. Crane, it is to be a very exclusive affair, for I heard that the Vaughns have accepted invitations, and you know they belong to the very creme de la creme.

I wish Fred was dark, for I don't fancy light men, however, the Vaughns are very rich and come of an excellent family, so I won't find fault with their yellow hair, as my own is yellower.

They came at last to a wooded hollow, through which another creek ran, thickly shaded by thick overhanging shrubbery.
"My hand hasn't been steady these nine year; not since them Vaughns burned our house down the night your grandmother died. It was cold and snowin', and bein' out in it was more'n she could stand." "I remember," said the boy gloomily. "But that was a long time ago. I can't stay mad nine year." "I'm madder now than I was then!" almost shouted the infuriated mountaineer.
