Ma yawns - will hear nothing of shopping and growls continually, cash! Cash! Cash Oh! My dear sissy! Our shopping excur sion will be ruined to-day. Sissy, to whom this tirade was address ed, sat resting her left hand upon the sofa, and holding Paul Clifford in her right. She cast a languid, sorrowful look upon her lovely sister. Alas poor Stanton will be distressed enough, she continued. Look, he is just making his tenth promenade toward the Battery. Yesterday he was a most sorrow ful object. I could not have had the heart to refuse him. How could you be so cru el, dear Margaret? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
