I have scarcely been able to sit with him at all since Susan took ill. Arthur, ring the bell--it is so kind of you to come; you will take a cup of tea with us while my son and you talk matters over--that is, if you don't object to my presence? said the minister's mother with a smile.

Your dear papa always liked me to be with him, Arthur; and until he has a wife, Mr. Tozer, I daresay his mother will not be much in the way when it is so kind a friend as you he has to talk over his business with.

Arthur, will you open the window to clear the atmosphere of that smoke? and perhaps Mr. Tozer will take a seat nearer the fire.
