"I fancy the old idea of a bookseller and stationer's. I can bring a little connection from our chapel together—and there's your friends at the bank."

"Ah! I had forgotten. But we must not bear enmity in our hearts against our fellow-men."
"True—and this business—where is it to be?"
"We'll look out, Mattie and I, at once."
"Nothing settled yet, then?" said Sidney, with a sigh, who was anxious to be stirring in life once more.
"Nothing yet, of course. I did not know whether you would approve of the scheme. Whether Mattie and I would be exactly fitting company for you."
"Is that satire?"
"My dear sir, I never said a satirical thing in my life."
