Did you ever see that ?" "Now, don't be cross, Phil.

She's just superb, that little woman.

You never told me." "Who's just superb ?" growled Philip, fancying this turn of the conversation less than the other.
"Well, Mrs.Montague, if you must know." And Harry stopped to light a cigar, and then puffed on in silence.

The young gentlemen stayed in Fallkill a week, and were every day at the Montagues, and took part in the winter gaieties of the village.

There were parties here and there to which the friends of Ruth and the Montagues were of course invited, and Harry in the generosity of his nature, gave in return a little supper at the hotel, very simple indeed, with dancing in the hall, and some refreshments passed round.
