his smiles were very pleasant to see when they did come, for the gray eyes could be tender underneath the frown.
“No, Maggie.”
“I may turn out better than you expect.”
“I hope you will.”
“And may I come some day and make tea for you,Muži Moncler Bunda, and see this extremely small wife of Bob’s again?”
“Yes; but trot away now, for I’ve no more time to spare,” said Tom, looking at his watch.
“Not to give me a kiss?”
Tom bent to kiss her cheek,CG Dame Kensington Parka, and then said —
“There! Be a good girl. I’ve got a great deal to think of to-day,Dame Moncler Pyrole. I’m going to have a long consultation with my uncle Deane this afternoon.”
“You’ll come to aunt Glegg’s to-morrow? We’re going all to dine early, that we may go there to tea. You must come; Lucy told me to say so.”
“Oh, pooh! I’ve plenty else to do,” said Tom,Rescue Bunda, pulling his bell violently, and bringing down the small bell-rope.
“I’m frightened; I shall run away,” said Maggie, making a laughing retreat; while Tom, with masculine philosophy, flung the bell-rope to the farther end of the room; not very far either — a touch of human experience which I flatter myself will come home to the bosoms of not a few substantial or distinguished men who were once at an early stage of their rise in the world, and were cherishing very large hopes in very small lodgings.
