Where is Simon now ?" "He keeps a store in Washington Street.

He is a salesman now, and I don't think he is so foolish as he was." "Perhaps the lesson he learned did him good.

But I am keeping you away from your mother, Katy.

Who stays with her while you are away ?" "Mrs.Sneed--Simon's mother." "Then she is a good woman." "And Simon is very kind; he has done a great many things for me, and I hope I shall be able to do something for him one of these days." "That's right, Katy.

Think well of your friends, though others speak ill of them," said Grace.
