He came into view from behind the
awning, and sat down, the Baron de
Fierreville, startling Dolly. She had
seen him go off by an omnibus after
breakfast, and did not know he was
back again,
II think I should like it always"
she answered, with depreciation.

Dolly blushed to the tips of her
busy fingers: Il have a good deal to
do for Aunt Hamlet; she wants me to

Dolly's dress this morning was

Dolly looked up in surprise, Il am
