“Now, stand up here, sir, and let me see,” said she, as she playfully whisked him round and scrutinized his features. “I told you it did not look like you; and I am very sure now that it does not.”
“Let me see,” added Somers, extending his hand for the picture.
“Will you promise to give it back to me?”
“Certainly I will! You don’t imagine I would be so mean as to confiscate it?”
“I should not care much if you did, now that I have found out it does not look any more like you than it does like me,” she answered, handing him the photograph.
“Where did you get this picture, Sue?”
“Where did I get it? Well, that is cool! Didn’t you send it to me yourself?” And Sue began to exhibit some symptoms of amazement.
“I am very sure I never sent you this picture,” added Somers gravely.
“You did not?”
“Never.”
