"I don't think Mr. Buxton will mind it much," said Maggie, dimpling up, as she remembered, half unconsciously, how little he had seemed to care for anything but herself. "Why, what a thing it is for you!" said Mrs. Browne, quite roused up from her languor and her head-ache. "Everybody said he was engaged to Miss Erminia. Are you quite sure you made no mistake, child?

But Maggie blushed, and either would not or could not. So Mrs. Browne began again: "Well, if you're sure, you're sure. I wonder how he brought his father round.
