"O, nobody but Mr. Carleton."
"Mr. Carleton! why you didn't say six and a quarter words while he was here."
"No, but I mean in the library, and walking home."
"Talking too much! I guess you did," said the doctor;--"your tongue is like
'the music of the spheres, So loud it deafens human ears.'
How came you to talk too much? I thought you were too shy to talk at all in company."
"No sir, I am not;--I am not at all shy unless people frighten me. It takes almost nothing to do that; but I am very bold if I am not frightened."
"Were you frightened this afternoon?"
"No sir."
"Well, if you weren't frightened, I guess nobody else was," said the doctor.
