6/7 Why, there isn't a lady in Boston that begins to have the _air distingue_ which Mary Howard has. Of course she'll be all the go. Ain't I glad Moreland is in New Orleans; for with his notions he wouldn't hesitate to marry her if he liked her, poor as she is. Now if she only had the chink, I'd walk up to her quick. I don't see why the deuce the old man need to have got so involved just now, as to make it necessary for me either to work or have a rich wife. |
