"Lay no store by what you suppose I lead you to believe. When our difference shall reach an end, if such a thing is possible, I will tell you."

"Now, you are mocking me. Ah, come in, my dear." Mrs. Elbridge had returned. "Yes, we will go to hear Bradley preach. And I warrant I can remember more of the sermon than you."
"Mr. Bradley is here now," said Mrs. Elbridge.
"Ah, is he? Did you tell him I would be in pretty soon?"
"He has come to see Agnes, I think. He asked for her."
"Ah, the sly dog. Well, he couldn't ask for a better girl. Are you going, Howard?"
"Yes, sir, to take a walk with Florence, if she cares to go."
