The Home Circle
[Conducted bt LINDA.]
KNEW SHE WAS LISTENING
One day he heard two boarders speak Their thoughts together; They said they found the coffee weak, The steak like leather.
Said he, •* I’ve known the lady long, And will defend her ; I’ve always found the coffee strong, The beef steak tender.
She heard —the storm about to break At once passed over ; Since then that boarder wide-awake Has lived in clover.
