THOSE LOVERS.

They had been engaged, but now were suffering from one of those quarrels which sometimes ruffle the course of true love. They had not spoken for three days, and neither wished to be first to yield. But with the hankering which afflicts murderers and lovers with reference to the scene of the late unpleasantness, he called at the house on a trumped-up business mission to her father. By chance (P) she answered his ring at the door. Gathering himself, he, with a cold slow, voice, begins the following dialogue : He : “ Does Mr Dudley reside here ?” She : “ He does.”

He : “Is he in ?” She: “ He is not.” He : “ Will he be in soon ?” “ She : “ He will.” lie : “ Thank you ; I will call again.” (Turns to go.) She : “ Excuse me, who shall I say called ?” —Life.
