"Ho, dat one big lie. Der ain't de debble-stick but in de king's palace at Kumassi." I weigh one hundred and sixty pounds, set down in black and white, and it is a tragedy! I don't believe that man at the weighing machine is so very reliable in his weights, though he had a very pleasant smile while he was weighing me. Still, I had better get some scales of my own, smiles are so deceptive. I'll never forget my first real party. I was bridesmaid for Caroline Evans, when she married a Birmingham magnate, from which Hillsboro has never yet recovered. It was the week before the wedding. I was sixteen, felt dreadfully unclothed without a tucker in my dress, and saw Alfred for the first time in evening clothes—his first. I can hardly stand thinking about how he looked even now. I haven't been to very many parties in my life, but from this time on I mean to indulge in them often. Candle-light, pretty women's frocks, black coat sleeves, cut glass and flowers are good ingredients for a joy-drink, and why not?.

"No. He found the devil-stick within the grounds of Mrs. Dallas, near the gates." "Please, please, do tell us what it is! Suspense is so awful!" Lady Meg sighed, and rising to her feet, she drew her cloak round her tall form. "Well, major," said Mrs. Dallas, after the first greetings were over, "what did that wicked man say to you yesterday?".
