OF York road, when the rain came down,
and they had to hurry up the steps into
shelter. There they bewailed the absence
Of umbrellas, declaring that if they had

man of the party for not having had the
sense, the forethought, the intelligence
to warn them of the possible occurrence
of sharp shower; his plea of inability
to extract secrets from the future vas

Thought she seemed amused about
something. She's having her sandwiches

What's quite true, is admitted the
aunt, she makes one less mouth to
fill. I'm not going to say single word
against her. but she was certainly q
very earty eater. I've seen her come
twice for pudding over and over again.
ANY signs OF it leaving off,"
News was brought that the rain was
coming down worse, if anything, than
