Excerpt from Errant a Life-Story of Latter-Day Chivalry, Vol. 2 of 3 This is very wrong, Amy, said her brother when, returning home after midnight, he found her still seated by the fire in the little parlour, which served also as his study; and in which she had arranged his supper and was keeping warm the coffee which he, habitually abstinent rather than temperate, pre ferred to any other refreshment after a long night's work. I ought to try to realize the fear you pre tended to feel this morning. What did you suppose I could scold you for then I had not time to ask; but I certainly have cause to scold you now. There was as little of displeasure in his tone as Of apprehension in the bright sweet smile with which Amy received the rebuke.
