To-morrow is the day for being shaved. You must get things ready for that to-day.

Have you brought the bull and the calves ?

Yes, Sir; they are come, but the calves are amazingly dear.

Why? Could you not have sent word before? then I could have secured them for a trifle.

To-morrow is the day for you to be shaved. Can you invite all your relations?

Yes, that's done. People are gone to invite them.
