that David and his sister dine with them
every Sunday. Mrs. Bixbee at first looked a little askance at the wine
on the table, but she does not object to it now. Being a "son o'
temp'rence," she has never been induced to taste any champagne, but on
one occasion she was persuaded to take the smallest sip of claret.
"Wa'al," she remarked with a wry face, "I guess the' can't be much sin
or danger 'n drinkin' anythin' 't tastes the way _that_ does."

She and Mrs. Lenox took to each other from the first, and the latter has
quite supplanted (and more) Miss Claricy (Mrs. Elton) with David. In
fact, he said to our friend one day during the first year of the
marriage, "Say, John, I ain't sure but what we'll have to hitch that
wife o' your'n on the off side."

I had nearly forgotten one person whose conversation has yet to be
recorded in print, but which is considered very interesting by at least
four people. His name is David Lenox.

I think that's all.
