So this was his first greeting to Maggie; after kissing her: "Well, Sancho, you've done famously for yourself.

As soon as I got your letter I said to Harry Bish--'Still waters run deep; here's my little sister Maggie, as quiet a creature as ever lived, has managed to catch young Buxton, who has five thousand a-year if he's a penny.' Don't go so red, Maggie.

Harry was sure to hear of if soon from some one, and I see no use in keeping it secret, for it gives consequence to us all." "Mr.Buxton is quite put out about it," said Mrs.Brown, querulously; "and I'm sure he need not be, for he's enough of money, if that's what he wants; and Maggie's father was a clergyman, and I've seen 'yeoman,' with my own eyes, on old Mr.Buxton's (Mr.Lawrence's father's) carts; and a clergyman is above a yeoman any day.

But if Maggie had had any thought for other people, she'd never have gone and engaged herself, when she might have been sure it would give offence.

We are never asked down to dinner now.
