" Yes, my dear, and it is almost
entirely well," said Frank.
M Then I may ask a question--you
were reading a letter just now, mamma.
Who was it from ? And what was it
about, mamma? "
" My dear Mary, it is not proper to
ask people who their letters are from,
or what they are about. "
" I did not know that, mamma; I
will not do it again," said Mary. " I
only asked, because I thought it was
something about Frank, for you looked
as if you were considering. "
" I was considering; but it was
nothing about Frank. I was consider-
ing about the affairs of a man in
Jamaica. "
