I think they're horrid; crust apples nutmeg little lumps of butter all over it. Is there anything else, mother, before I put the top on?"

"Evan, what sort of a young man do you consider Mr. Ried?" "Ried? Who? Oh, my clerk? The very best sort; a most estimable fellow, one of a thousand. By the way, did you tell him how you became interested in that sister of his?" "Not yet; I want to get better acquainted. But, Evan, do you know where he boards?" Hardly; on Third Avenue somewhere, I believe; or possibly Second.
Roberts was ready to enter into a business engagement with him, whereby the sitting should be considered his own; Mr. Roberts considering it to be no part of any one's concern that the sum for which he thus sub-let the sittings was not a tenth of what the first rental cost. It was in this way that Mr. Ried owned sittings in the pew just back of that occupied by Mr.
It was a new experience, this being classed among the Christian workers of the world; making her music for other purposes than to amuse the gay friends who chanced to gather around her. She made the keys speak loudly for a few minutes, then softening them, said: "You must not class me with Flossy, Mr. Ried. I only did what she wanted done.
She recalled some of the gay words that she had spoken with these others, and tried, hurriedly, to decide why it would sound to her perfectly absurd to talk with Alfred Ried in that way.

In the neighbourhood of a small Indian village called Chiuchiu, it is fed by a little volcanic stream, which contains a large quantity of salt in a state of dissolution, besides copper, arsenic, sulphur, and other matters.
Or talking about bathing, to the poor wretches who have no clothing to change, and barely water enough, by carrying it long distances, to satisfy their most pressing needs! Still, Ried, I'm not quarrelling with your idea. There is a sensible side to it; there are things that I could tell even those boys which might interest them, and would certainly be to their advantage to know.
I wanted to get acquainted with you, so I might ask you things about her. I am waiting now for my husband to come and introduce us. But perhaps it isn't necessary. Do you know who I am?" "It is Mrs. Roberts, I believe?" the young man said, struggling with his astonishment and embarrassment. "Yes, and you are Mr. Alfred Ried. Well, now we know each other without any further ceremony.
