"I am afraid it surpasses the power of woman to distract Mr. Hopkins's attention from a sheepshead or a paugee."

"You have really a very pretty view here, Miss Wyllys, although there is nothing bold or commanding in the country; it makes a very pleasant home picture," observed Mr. Ellsworth, who had been looking about him.

"Yes; even your fastidious friend, Mr. Stryker, pronounced the landscape about Wyllys-Roof to be very well put together," said Mrs. Creighton.
"Mr. Stryker, however, professes to have no eye for anything of the kind," replied Elinor.
