"Captain Standish is nbt quite a dragon," replied Bella, laughing. "I am not afraid of him." "My dear, I am told he is a very fascinating man," said Mrs. Dulcimer, "and that is the worst kind of dragon for a young married woman. He certainly ought to marry Clementina, and if you and I exercise a little diplomacy I believe he will do it. Look at your position. I feel proud of that. If it hadn't been for me you might have never been Mrs. Piper. Poor Mr. Piper might never have repeated his offer if I had not encouraged him."

And see that she is becomingly dressed. And you can polish her up a little in the next fortnight. Clementina sadly wants polish. She has never had your opportunities, you know." CHAPTER XII.

Excerpt from An Open Verdict, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel This was the happy result Of long habit. The Vicar loved his books, and his Wife loved the ex crcise Of her tongue. His morning hours were sacred. He studied or read as he pleased till dinner time, secure from feminine interruption. But the evening was a privileged time for Mrs. Dulcimer. She brought a big workbasket, like an inverted beehive, into the library directly after dinner, and established herself in the arm-chair opposite the Vicar's, ready for a comfortable chat. A comfort able chat meant a vivacious monologue, with an occasional remark from Mr. Dulcimer, who came in now and then like a chorus. He had his open book on the reading easel attached to his chair, and turned the leaves with a languid air, some times as if out Of mere absence Of mind; but he was deep in philosophy, or metaphysics, or theology, or antiquarianism, for the greater part Of his time; and his inward ear was listening to the mystic voices Of the dead, while his outward ear gave respectful attention' to Mrs. Dulcimer's critical Observations upon the living.
