Surely you will come back. My great grief at the absence of my husband will rend my heart so sorely that I must needs have some pleasure to drive away the sorrow and perpetuate the bloom on these cheeks and the brightness in these eyes for you." Silly John Stevens yielded to his wife and consented to set apart for luxuries some of the small amount he was to leave.
Mrs.Stevens was born to squander.
Ann Linkon had said of her: "She could cast from the window more than the good husband could throw in at the door." But Ann was adjudged of slander, and ducked for the charge. John paid his mother a visit before departing.
That sweet, gentle mother greeted her unhappy son with, tears.
It was seldom Dorothe permitted him to visit her.
