Mid form of temptation; but the majority of men in Basset found it fatally alluring when encountered on their road toward four o’clock on a wintry afternoon; and if any wife in Basset wished to indicate that her husband was not a pleasure-seeking man, she could hardly do it more emphatically than by saying that he didn’t spend a shilling at Dickison’s from one Whitsuntide to another. Mrs. Moss had said so of her husband more than once, when her brother was in a mood to find fault with him, as he certainly was to-day.

“Brother, I’m glad to see you,” she said, in an affectionate tone. “I didn’t look for you to-day. How do NIKE AIR MAX DYNASTY Damskie you do?”

She knew at once that her brother was not in a good humor; he never called her Mrs. Moss except when he was angry, and when they were in company.
