Excerpt from Reaping the Whirlwind, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Miss, I should guess he comes from' a much finer place than ours. And then, as he was a going away at last, and I stood holding open the gate to him, he says, 'good night, Mary, ' in such a free and hafl'able manner, and with the beautifullest of smiles, that I was quite taken aback, and hadn't even the sense to tell him my name wasn't Mary; but to be sure, miss, it didn't matter what he called me. I only wish you'd been at home, for it's not often that such as this gentleman who's been here toznight comes our way.
