The affected moderation of Rashleigh, which he well knew how to qualify with irritating ingredients, was even more provoking to me than the noisy and bullying language of his obstreperous brothers.

"Champney came home unexpectedly last evening, and the syndicate has offered him a position, a big one, in New York treasurer of the Flamsted Quarries Company; and our Romanzo's got a chance too " "You don't say! What is it?" Mrs. Caukins started up stairs whence came sounds of an obstreperous bootjack. "Paymaster, here in town; I'll explain in more propitious circumstances.
"Never mind, doctor," said the third, "we have fairly beaten them in the argument."
