She was an agreeable companion, and I was pleased with the visit.

In fact, I liked Mrs.Jordon.
About an hour after she was gone, Nancy came into the kitchen, where I happened to be.
"What's wanted now ?" said I.My voice expressed quite as much as my words.

I saw the color flush in Nancy's face.
"Mrs.Jordon says, will you please to lend her a pan of flour?
She will return it to-morrow." "Tell Mrs.Jordon," I replied, "that we are going to make up bread this afternoon, and haven't more than enough flour left, or I would let her have what she wants.

And, by the way, Nancy, tell Mrs.
Jordon that I will be obliged to her if she will send in my large earthen dish.

We want to use it." Nancy didn't seem pleased.
