'Shall I, Elleen? asked David, with a twinkle in his eye of cousinly teasing.

It is true that he talked to her more of money than anything else; but then it was her money of which he talked, and he did it with an interest that could not but flatter her. He was solicitous about her welfare, gave her bits of advice, did one or two commissions for her in town, called her Margaret, and was kind and cousinly.
"Cousinly!" cried Turkey Proudfoot. "You and I, sir, are total strangers to each other." "Well, we ought not to be," said Mr. Grouse. "It's time we got acquainted with each other.
