"At all events they all seemed pleased; which I think is particularly kind in Sister Mary and Cal." "Yes," said Rosie, "and I hope and believe the Crolys will prove so agreeable as guests, or boarders, that they will never regret it." "So do I," Arthur said; "also I think that the Crolys will find us all so agreeable that they will never regret it." "Won't you alight and take a seat among us, doctor ?" asked the captain hospitably.
"Thank you; I should enjoy doing so, but duty calls in another direction, a sick patient needing prompt attention.

Good-evening to you all"; and, turning with the last words, he drove away.
"So, Rosie, you are likely soon to be able to make the acquaintance of your future mother-in-law," said Violet.

"But you don't seem alarmed at the prospect." "No; because I am not.

From all Will has told me I think she must be a lovely and lovable woman; as he thinks his future mother-in-law is." "And as all to whom she bears that relation can testify," remarked the captain with an affectionate, appreciative glance at the sweet face of Grandma Elsie.
"I, for one," said Mr.Leland heartily; "and I feel entirely sure of Zoe, the only other one to whom she bears that relationship." "You are all very kind, very ready to pass my imperfections by," responded Mrs.Travilla's sweet voice.

"And if I am a good mother, I can assure you that it is at least partly as a a consequence of having good sons and daughters." "May you always be able to say that, mother," responded the captain heartily.
