"Who is that?" said Frederick, almost before he was out of hearing.
Margaret was a little drooping, a little flushed, as she replied: "Mr. Thornton; you saw him before, you know."
"Only his back. He is an unprepossessing-looking fellow. What a scowl he has!"
"Something has happened to vex him," said Margaret apologetically. "You would not have thought him unprepossessing if you had seen him with mamma."
"I fancy it must be time to go and take my ticket. If I had known how dark it would be, we wouldn't have sent back the cab, Margaret."

'Who is that?' said Frederick, once he was past. Margaret was a little drooping, a little flushed, as she replied:
'Mr. Thornton; you saw him before, you know.'
'Only his back. He is an unprepossessing-looking fellow. What a scowl he has!'
'Something has happened to vex him,' said Margaret, apologetically.
'It must be time to go and get my ticket. If I had known how dark it would be, we wouldn't have sent away the cab.'
