When Tom came home remarked that |
Eben's nephew, Teddy O'Brien had taken |
his place, and he had at last gone to pay
his visit, and was so pleasant and chatty |
that Tom thought l had quite forgotten the

scraped his foot in regular servant style.

to be in the same place on the stairs where
had seen Tom kiss Sara Ann, and as he
opened the door, Teddy kissed me loud
enough to be heard all over the house, aud
then hurried away while l went on to the
dining room. Tom came in presently with
and awful frown, which pretended not to
see, and held up my face to be kissed, but
he pashed me rudeiy from him.
