But one thing I am pretty sure of, and that is that she is dreadfully angry with my cousin Junius, and I am very sorry for that." "How did he anger her ?" asked Lawrence, wishing to find out how much this young woman knew.

"I haven't the least idea," said Miss Annie.
"All I know is, she had quite a long talk with him, in the parlor, and after that she came flying up-stairs, just as indignant as she could be.

She didn't say much, but I could see how her soul raged within her." And now the young lady stopped speaking, and looked straight into Lawrence's face.

"It isn't possible," she said, "that you have been sending my cousin to propose to her for you ?" This was not a pleasant question to answer, and, besides, Lawrence had made up his mind that the period had passed for making confidants of other persons, in regard to his love affairs.

"Do you suppose I would do that ?" he said.
"No, I don't," Miss Annie answered.
