But we had a nice time to-day, Lu.

Aren't you pleased with our purchases ?" "Yes, indeed, Mamma Vi! I am sure Christine, Alma, and the servants cannot fail to be delighted with the gifts we have for them.

And papa has been so very generous in supplying Grace and me with money.

I hope Max will be pleased with all we bought for him.

Poor, dear fellow! It is just a shame he couldn't have been allowed to come here with us." "Yes, I regret it very much," said Violet.
