 "Is this your work?' cried his son.: when Miss Lahey had disclosed the volume. Leave it with me. I will show it to father. It will please him to see such strong work" sa
 And now what do you want of me ?' asked the master, when tremulously she called later for the book and Mer- cier had sent his praise.
