How I first came by it I do not know.

But Guy Johnson placed it there for me, saying that it was mine by right.

Now, today, I have written to Mr.Hake a letter.

In this letter I have commanded some few trifles to be bought for you, such as all women naturally require." "Euan!" she exclaimed sharply.
"I will not listen!" said I excitedly.

"Do you listen now to me, for I mean to have my way with you--say what you may----" "I know--I know--but you have done too much already----" "I have done nothing! Listen! I have bespoken trifles of no value--nothing more--stockings, and shifts, and stays, and powder-puffs, and other articles----" "I will not suffer this!" she said, an angry colour in her cheeks.
"You suffer now--for lack even of handkerchiefs! I must insist----" "Euan! My shifts and stays and stockings are none of your affair!" she answered hotly.
"I make them mine!" "No--nor is it your privilege to offer them!" "My--what ?" "Privilege!" she said haughtily, flushing clear to her curly hair; and left me checked.
