“There are more than four letters. But four have sensations.”
“Do give me half a sensation.”
“What do you think of John writing me that he is tired of medicine, it is too big a pull; he wants me to break it to father, and ask him to take him into the business.”
“Father will be glad enough; but he will not like John to give up for such a reason.”
“I imagine that girl is at the bottom of it. Girls are usually at the bottom of things. Her father will be willing for the marriage if John goes into business; he did not relish the idea of a struggling professional man.”
“Lottie Kindare is not the girl to relish a long engagement, either. I am not surprised at that sensation.”
“You will not be surprised that Richard King has resigned and accepted a call to the Summer Avenue church.”
“Oh, no; father said they were determined to have him.”
“And he’s to be married, too.”
“I cannot be surprised at that. That is not a sensation. I knew he was taken with Agnes Trembly that first time he met her here. She did look as sweet as a violet. She has grown like a flower this last year.”
