Notwithstanding confidence of one who
has either done nothing his conscience
tells him Is wrong or who is positive
that nothing will be brought up
against him for which he need blush.
After studying him for few minutes
one is quite in frame of mind to
believe him when he declares that:

mother hand. She is old. you see,

admiration for the city of New York,
