The Huron Expositor, 1875-09-17, Page 2, MY ',Inn NOSE. 1 — ' But one Suncie,y Nan wee too ill or. too idle to go to ehdreh, She talked vague- ly about a headache. I knew very well whet that .meaat ; her new bonnet had not come hem° the day before, and it was a hot Sunday lb May. I left her on the loin ge with a new book and. a salts bot - tie,. looking ver lovely in her delicate ros and white wrapper, and not at all ill, and -wont n y way. A certain Oteurnstance detained me half an hour agter service, and when I ' opeeed the dbor, hot and tired, but charmed to sett the cool fresh salad and. scatlet lobster Itrrayed for lunch beside a pitcher of iced claret, Nan at once came betveen me aedi this vision of bliss to a hot and thirsty men. Where ha, ti,e you been !'' she cried, with gushing mphasis. "1 haVesem- rie( so ! I thii.ught you had a fit ora suristi oke." And with tl ese words she threw her- self into my arms and. received due greet- • ing ; but haaelty had my lips met hers wh n she drew herself off suddenly, and eta -ed. at me. "Jack," said she, :sternly, " you ha e been home with Nell Rivers. I' ka w it. . ''," Do you t" teturned I, ceolly, "Are yeti quite sure t1) - ‘f Perfectly, Sir. I smell amber lave ender, and. nobody else in these days. uses that old-fashimied stuff Oh, Jack and inc siak at home. Very well." I sat down ih the nearest chair and shouted with laughter. This was, in- deed, what Mr. ,Weller junior would have: • called a " rum go." Nan's eyes blazed, and I laughed the more. • Then he burst into tears; and with effective aid from a fresh and delicate bit of handkerchief covered I her face and tried bitterly. "Come, Nan," said. I, "this is sheer stuff and nonsense. -Whet if '1 did go home with Nelly Rivers ?" - " it is—is—isn't that," she sobbed. "But you must have staid there a 'Ong time, or beenvery—well—very near i to her, to have your coat Smell of amber lavender." - I will do my wife the justice to say that she blushed hotly at these last words as the ought to have done: 1 rushed at once into the fact. 'I You are quite right, my dear"— and heiie let netteke a moment to bless that delightful phrase, "My dear," which says to much in SO little according to its intonation and emphasis, No man can be !caned, plausibly, a brutewho says "My dear" to his wife. Yet I am mire Nan felt my just indignation and dis- gust far niore deeply when I said. it than if I had expressed my sentiments in pure nervous Saxon—"you are (mite right, my dear. I have been holding Miss Riyers in ray arms, with her head on 1 en my ehoulder, at least fifteen mi utes." I Ten looked at me; her great dark gr y eyes widened and darkened, he thiu nostrils dilated, the flush passed fr n her face as she gazed. kitoiv that I looked_ serene; though un Jilin& but I did not speak, "Jack, what do you Mean ?" " I mean that iNily Rivers fainted dead away in her Seat int church: No- body was with her, so I picked' her uo, 1144 found a carriage at the church doer, carried her home with her head on my' shoulder, . and laid her, still uncon- scious, on the sofa, and then went for • thedoctor, who says it i an attack of brein fever." "Poor little thing I 1 didn't know Slid had any brains.

But if I groaned in spirit abo t Nan's a nose after this, it was not long' before I had, reason to bless it.

Only i one carriage was left on the stand, but ,I I had it brought up to the door at once; I thoegh it was bet a niee one, it was at I least a shelter. I helped Nation up to ' the ;step, but the moment her head en- tered the vehicle she shrank back, and I junued down on to the pavement, I 'i sine I and C I can't g� in that thing:, Jack. it .Is of something dreadful. .

The driv4 swore by all the stints, and the devil be-' it side , that no tack man or Anything ' out of t e way had ever been iin his carriage "I se ce the wtrlid was med." But nothing canviread Nan. t She became painfully excited, and I was fairly forced to give up the matter or be downright erne. But George would not be per - :ma ed. He looked atene with a sort of contemptuous convenient; ' hut 'I felt_ gave him, for he never had. been mat- ried, So Nen and I—walk ed hare q, and George drove off to the station. I was sulk and Nan was sweet. She knew I had made a great effort to please her, and. pile knew (i -cargo had sneered .in- warOly at my compliance, for her per- cep4ons were keen and quick, so she mad p herself unusually lovely to reward me;1 and, better still, when George was seized with small -pox, a fortnight after, and. brought to the edge of death, and by police investigation I found out that the indignantly virtuous back-driverihad ' that very evening of the concert taken ! two small -pox patients to the hospital, - all Nan ' said was, "Oh, „Jack, how good you were to let me. walk home I"' To which l answered, "Bless your dear nose.!" , . But I was deemed, to be still further indebted add reconciled to that wonder- . ful organ. A year or two after ' the small pox affair, Nan's old grandmother, a decrepit Frenchwoman of 90, died in Paris, and in a. fit of. pique left all her money and jewels to IsTim's mother, whom she had uaterly ignored since her marriage, tress.
