"Honest gentleman, you are lightly satisfied." "So are not you, I vow." She was pleased to answer that with a scrap of a song: "Jog on, jog on the footpath way, And merrily hent the stile-a!

"Well, never mind!" Dolly cried, "as long as we have it! Oh, Ted, how clever of you to think of it! I'm so glad! Come, let's hurry home and tell about it! My, won't they all rejoice!"
"Yes, sir I mean no, sir," spluttered Harry, while Frank stepped aside and stood laughing silently to himself. "I thought you did. Er what's the matter with your face, young man?"
