"Well, have some jam then," I managed to say with a little laugh, as I turned away and picked up the silver spoon. "She is certainly beautiful," said he, indifferently, "but she is not clever, and her weak nature is enslaved by the gross superstitions of Dido." "He's come!" I gasped. "And I'm frightened to death, with nobody but you to run to. Hide me quick! He's large and coarse-looking, and I hate him!".

That was about all they had to eat down in Tellef’s shanty.
