Let us have your vote, my angel; I will address you in your prospective character; will you put on your wings at once?
Or shall we get done with the terrestrial first?
What do you say ?--I hope you are going to make Miss Stanfield the queen, Mrs.Sandford; she has done one part so well that I should like to see her in another." "Why, you are going to be Ahasuerus yourself!" said the lady.

I vote for Miss Theresa." "It is a capital idea," said Preston.
"I think so too," said Mrs.Sandford.

"Theresa, my dear, I wonder we did not think before of something so much to our advantage; but these children seemed to have got the picture into their own hands.

You will do it far better.

Come! let me robe you." "I would rather be Vashti," murmured Theresa.
