what I meant about Mrs. Vaizey's courage. And the reward of it is
that, after your first moment of incredulity, the fish-bone isn't in the
least bit absurd. Poor _Cassandra_ comes quite near to expiring of it;
and _Dane_, having thumped and battered her into safety, sobs out his
wild and whirling passion, while _Grizel_ and poor _Teresa_ have just to
sit about and listen. It really is rather a striking and original
climax; incidentally it is far the best scene in an otherwise not very
brilliant tale. But, having attended that picnic, I shall be astonished
if you don't, want to go on to the end and see how it all straightens
out.

"At 9.30 o'clock, as the fog lifted somewhat, the rescuing
steamer Lyonnesse had sighted the Gothland, fast on the rocks,
with a bad list to starboard, and apparently partly filled with
pater."
_Daily Chronicle._
"Our Special Correspondent's" father seems to be a big man.

"While the class watches, the teacher pronounces all the words.
Then the whole class pronounces them while the teacher points,
skipping around."--_Hawaii Educational Review._
A pretty scene, if the teacher is a man of graceful movements.
