"Dey tells me dat de healin' pains mos' gen'rally runs into de min'." About nine o'clock in the evening Junius Keswick paid Lawrence a visit; and, taking a seat by one side of the fireplace, accepted the offer of a cigar.
"How are things going on in the house ?" asked Lawrence.
"Well," said Keswick, speaking slowly, "as you know so much of our family affairs, I might as well tell you that they are in a somewhat upset condition.

But she restrained herself, wonderfully, considering her provocation, for, of course, I have entirely disordered her plans by appearing here, when she had arranged everything for you to have Miss March to yourself.

But, so far, the peace has been kept between us, although she scarcely speaks to me." "And Miss March ?" said Lawrence.
