I want to know all about your husband.

Do you think he is really out of health ?" "No," said Mrs.Tolbridge, "he is simply overworked, and needs rest.

Just the sort of rest I hope he is getting this afternoon." "Nonsense," said Miss Panney; "rest is well enough, but you must give him more than that if you do not want to see him break down.

You must give him good victuals.

Rest, without the best of food, amounts to little in his case." "Truly, Miss Panney!" exclaimed her visitor, "I think I give my husband as good living as any one in Thorbury has or can expect." "Humph!" said the old lady.
