How delighted lam to meet you. You are alirost a stranger.. Will I accept, your seat ? Well, I do feel tired, I heartily adn'it.. ThanW you so much.' The sedate gentleman— a total stranger, of courselooked, listened, then quietly rose and gave her his seat, saying : 'Sit down, Jane, my girl: Don't often see you out on a washing day. You must feel! tired, I'm sure. How's your mistress ?' - -' The young lady got her seat, but lost her vivacity.
