"She's a perfect angel," cried Patricia, her heart warming at the thought of Doris' genuine sweetness of nature. "If Miss Jinny really had known her, she'd been the last to suspect her." Across the lawn there crept a wizen, gray-haired little man, with a cringing manner. He was white, but darkish in the skin, and there was something negroid about his face. This dwarfish little creature was a tramp, who had become a pensioner of Isabella's. He had attached himself to her like some faithful dog, and rarely failed to present himself at least once a day. I don't know just how long I sat by the open window all by myself, bathed in a perfect flood of moonlight and loneliness.

It takes the greatest congeniality to make a person's snoring a pleasure to anybody, and Aunt Adeline and I are not that way..

I don't know how all this is going to end, and I wish my mind wasn't in a kind of tingle. However, I'll do the best I can and not hold myself at all responsible for myself, and then who will there be to blame? "Wait till Saturday, when old Jonesy lights on you," warned her new friend. "You won't find life so lightsome when his eagle eye discovers you." "Well, why not you and Alfred come along and make it a family party, if that is what suits Bill, the boss?" "I think so, major--for half-an-hour, at least!".
