I was half afraid she would leave me out after Hugh's refusal to attend the Ladies' Fair, or buy a ticket for her lottery.

It was only ten dollars either, and Mr.
Harney spent all of forty, I'm sure, in the course of the evening.

I think Harney is splendid." "Hugh had no ten dollars to spare," Mrs.Worthington said, apologetically, "though, of course, he might have been more civil than to tell Ellen it was a regular swindle, and the getters-up ought to be indicted.

I almost wonder at her inviting him, as she said she'd never speak to him again." "Invited him! Who said she had?
It's only one card for me," and with a most satisfied expression 'Lina presented the rote to her mother, whose pale face flushed at the insult thus offered her son--an insult which even 'Lina felt, but would not acknowledge, lest it should interfere with her going.
"You won't go, of course," Mrs.Worthington said, quietly.

"You'll resent her slighting Hugh." "Indeed I shan't," the young lady retorted.
