"Oh, father, how can I thank you?"
"By obeying me, Phœbe."
"Yes, father; I will."
"I hope you will keep your word. What is the name of this new friend?"
"Not new, father—old."
"New to me. What is his name?"
"Mr. Cornwall. He is a gentleman, father."
"Young?"
"Yes, father."
"What is he besides being a gentleman?"
