"You must be very tired, Maggie."
She replied by a bright smile.
"Shall I sit up for an hour while you lie down?"
"Yes, father," knowing it would please him. "Have you had supper?"
A nod.
"And your beer?"
Another nod.
"And your pipe?"
"Yes; Ellen got every thing ready nicely. She is like you were when you were a girl, Maggie."
"Better than me, father."
