Once a year the present Lady Mafferton invites Mrs. Portheris to tea, and I know they discuss my theory of engagements in a critical spirit. We have never seen either Miss Nancy or Miss Cora Bingham again, and I should have forgotten the names of Mr. Pabbley and Mr. Hinkson by this time if I had not written them down in earlier chapters. Arthur and I have not yet made up our minds to another visit to England. We have several friends there, however, whom we appreciate exceedingly, in spite, as we often say to one another, of their absurd and deplorable accent.
THE END.

There is as much strength in this book as in a dozen ordinary successful novels."—London Literary World.
"I commend it to all my readers who like a strong, cheerful, beautiful story. It is one of the truly notable books of the season."—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
FALSE COIN OR TRUE? $1.25.
