Cot-none in the world!
:" No use in denying aohat, Ophelia ?-fo,
once am at fault in understanding you.'
"NoW, Cotton Mather Royalstone, that
is a-a-weH, If it is not afb, lit is at least
an equivocation. I mean there is no use
in denying that you are IN 0ve-deeply,
. inextricably, MORALLY, dreadfully, in love.
I'Yes been aware Of .it-let me see-ever
since that first party at Mrs. Swans.
Anybody with two eyes in their head
ought to have made the same discovery.
You are MORALLY in love with Resale
Anderson" And the chatterbox of
speaker-viz., Ophela Stewartson, held her
pretty finger up, and shook it at her cousin
meaningly, and saucily, too.
IF q blush is any acknowledgment OF Q
fact, then Cotton Mather Royalstone aoas
in love, for the tell-tale blood mounted
even into his fine temples, and he cast his
eyes down, and played with his watch
guard almost as modestly as girl might
have done. Anybody would have joined
Ophelia Stewartson, and declared our hero
to have been in love. at that very moment.
"But, Cousin Cot" pursued the girl in
that same teasing tone, "Rosa has gone
away on visit to Niagara. She won't be
back these three weeks but that's no rea-
son why You should shoot, hang, or drown,
yourself-no reason in the world. Act like
asensible fellow, and for that short space
