"I suppose Frederic will be here to-day," she said to Miss Macnulty, as they sat at breakfast together about noon.

Miss Macnulty nodded.

"You can have a cab, you know, if you like to go anywhere." Miss Macnulty said she thought she would go to the National Gallery.

"And you can walk back, you know," said Lizzie.

"I can walk there and back too," said Miss Macnulty,--in regard to whom it may be said that the last ounce would sometimes almost break the horse's back.
"Frederic" came and was received very graciously.
