Men with eyes like his and such voices used to break the hearts of susceptible maids when I was sixteen Do come! She read it aloud from beginning to end nor did she falter much when Caleb greeted the postscript with a shout of joy Caleb was most high spirited those days for the line in regard to the progress of Steve's work was in truth an understatement if anything even though the assurance of his happiness might have been called a mis-construance of facts do you think of his sister asked pleasantly when she had finished reading it you mean will it fetch her I can only say heaven Indeed he was enjoying himself feel positive that she cares for him you say?

It will make you very proud I know Tell Mr I wished to be recalled to him As I have already warned you iu this letter father insists on coming with me I think he must be a little tired of the city himself for he is very restless And remind Uncle Cal that I am to have the wishbone or I will not come at This reply Miss Sarah also read aloud to her brother in a voice that was not quite Christian
