Description

Lottie opened the door, and a masculine voice was heard. Mrs. Slade had a storm-porch, so no one could look directly into the hall. "Is Mrs. Slade at home?" inquired the voice distinctly. The ladies looked at one another, and Miss Bessy Dicky's reading was unheard. They all knew who spoke. Lottie appeared with a crimson face, bearing a little ostentatious silver plate with a card. Mrs. Slade adjusted her lorgnette, looked at the card, and appeared to hesitate for a second. Then a look of calm determination overspread her face. She whispered to Lottie, and presently appeared a young man in clerical costume, moving between the seated groups of ladies with an air not so much of embarrassment as of weary patience, as if he had expected something like this to happen, and it had happened. Mrs. Slade motioned to a chair near her, which Lottie had placed, and the young man sat down.

  • Man's best friend needs a stocking too...

    My dog Molly is embarrassingly spoiled. THF puts up with it--he secretly adores the dog as much as I do--but he puts his foot down when I insist he walk Molly outside...while she's wearing a pink tweed jacket. Since I think it's only fair that Molly get presents on Christmas as well, I have some ideas of things that THF and I could both agree on...and none of the items involve the color pink or a...
