My dear Margaret, didst thou see Hartman when he left the house?

Only a glimpse of him.

Did he look very miserable?

I do think he did, poor man; but he is so vain, he will be the better for his mortification.

I thank thee, Margaret; it does me good to hear thee say so; for I know that thy thoughts and thy words are the same.

Come along, my dear child, and I will tell thee a new story of his consummate conceit as we go: sha'n't we take our usual turn on the terrace?[Exeunt.
