the conversation. Cant we have any

query; and when their mother sharply
told them "No!" reechoing in her voice

was but few moments till they, too,

words were heard where but an hour

John Browning modify waited while
his wife placed the supper o; oat meal

almost faint for a more substantial
meal, and Mr.. Browning in the earlier |
part of the day had said to her: 1--WE
will have a good steak for supper this

full of chagrin now that he scarcely
