"That," said little M'Roarkin, "is liker the Swine's melody, or the Bedfordshire hornpipe he he he!"
I asked you because I thought you were just the person for it. 'But only think, said poor Clara, with an imploring voice, 'to act, May! Why, acting is the most difficult thing in the world. Acting is quite a dreadful thing. I know many ladies who will not act. 'But it is not acting, Clara. Well! I will be Cinderella, and you shall be one of the sisters. 'No, dear May!

"How valiant you are, Pedro!" said the nut-brown maid, advancing to meet him. "How lucky you are!" said the matron, with a grave shake of the head.
