Angeline could not help loving her.
And the affection she cherished for Tite, who was the idol of her thoughts, strengthened the ties of their love. "We have not forgot you, you see," said Mrs.Chapman, as she bowed herself into Toodleburg's little house one evening.
"We expected company at home to-night, but says I to my dear husband, 'you know, my dear husband,' (here Mrs.Chapman bowed to her dear husband, who had followed her,) 'we have been promising so long to visit Mr.and Mrs. Toodleburg.'" Angeline bowed and invited her visitors to be seated, while Hanz gave Chapman a hearty shake of the hand, and an assurance that no man was more welcome under his roof.
"Always glad to see mine friends," said Hanz.
"You shall take seats, and be shust so much at home as you is in your own house." And he drew one big chair up for Chapman, and another for Mrs.Chapman.
