“Oh, of course I must have frames for them.”
“Of an ecclesiastical character?”
“It would be all the better.”
“I will do you the frames cheaper than anybody—that is, if I can get enough orders to make it worth my while to stop in the neighbourhood for a few days.”
Mr. Overton paid for the prints, and the framing of the same was a matter to be considered hereafter. He then took his departure.
