"Aha, Gwladys, thou hast lost something I see, for thou are hunting about."
"Yes—and thou hast found it, for I see it kiwking[[2]] out of thy pocket."

"Oh, anwl! there's lucky I am to find it so soon. I missed it as soon as I had taken off my hat. Thee wasn't at the singing class to-night?"
"No—didst miss me?"

This was not exactly what he had hoped to hear.
"Was the Mishteer there?"
"Yes, of course; we could not get on far without him. What a voice he has, Ivor!"
