Will you have a howl of punch, my--my husband ?" and she laughed again and kissed him as she passed to the holder for another fagot.
"I much prefer that to punch," said John, laughing softly.

"Have you more ?" "Thousands of them, John, thousands of them." She rippled forth a little laugh and continued: "I occupy my time nowadays in making them that I may always have a great supply when we are--that is, you know, when you--when the time comes that you may require a great many to keep you in good humor." Again came the laugh, merry and clear as the tinkle of sterling silver.
She laughed again within a minute or two; but when the second laugh came, it sounded like a knell.
Dorothy delighted to be dressed in the latest fashion.

Upon this occasion she wore a skirt vast in width, of a pattern then much in vogue.

The sleeves also were preposterously large, in accordance with the custom of the times.

About her neck a beautiful white linen ruff stood out at least the eighth part of an ell.
