I5y the middle of December Veronica
was quite at home. How she loved
Katherine! She had a 8 trance, vague,
undefined sentiment about S,r Ja.-pcr
a feeling that even she herself could
not understand. She wan jirateful to

was no jealousy, no rivalry between

The sweet Unshed face tlroopd

did not hear the faint whisrKT that cane

"1-Cat -," he said, "-stint do you say?

"Will he e-vo you to me, Knto?"
"I I:opo so," she repliel silently,

'i'lint was-why Sir Jasper at on Christ
mas n.or..ing as the gay bells were ring
i ii r. w ith saddened eyes and darkening
i.ae, while the -reat heart of the world
I t at hih with joy. Ixird Wynkigh had
waited ujn him to mako his formal
request br his daughtTS band. Sir
.Jasper listened kindly he had a great
liking for the gallant, handsome young
lover.
' V hat am I to say to you, Wynleigh?
My daughter has many suitors. I
s-hould like her to marry the one sho
loves lest." . J
"That is myself, Sir Jasp-r," he re
plied, proudly.
Sir Ja-jK'r smiled.
"You think so. WelL there is one re
mark I must make. So far es regards
woiidly gids, you are certainly uot
the most eligible lover."
"Never mind that, Sir Jasper," aid
Iyird Wynleigh. "I know it, and am
going to remedy it. Ik not imagine
that I am saying to you, Give uie your
daughter now at once my hands are
inpty, but she will fill them. It is not
that, I sav, rive me the hope of one
day calling Katherine my wife, and I
wi'.l set to work at once. I will make
such a name that I shall not be ashamed
to ask her to share it. Will yoa say
'Yes' Sir Jasper?"
"You speak bravely. You are sure
my daughter loves you?"
Kate says co," the young man re
p'.ied, "and she never speaks falsely."
"Then I give my consent," Baid Sit
Jasper. "But Katherine is too young to
marry yeL She mast wait a year or
two. The child is but just seventeen.
Come back in two years' time, to claim
her, if in the meantime you have made
a position for yourself. I do not care
that you should make money, but I do
care for tbe other."
-l will do it sir Jasper," he replied,
"an 1 yon will help me. I sh dl study
under you help mo with your in
fluence. Tltura is a borough vacant
now. Iie'p tne to plce my fot i.ntha

1 o:ig after Lord Wynleigh had left
him S r .I:::-.per sat silent and motion,

be'.ls listening to the mu.-ie and
laughter which fille 1 the old hac'.
What was he t. do? When the sangu'ue

What would those? proud Valdor'dnes
thi! prom lest people in England say
to h.iu when they heard that Kath
erine was not his heires af'i r all?
Katherine I'.randon's name was known
fill over England. Sir Jasper was at a
loss. His pense of justice and Ivs love
ol right, his love ::n I his prid , his
l.oiifty and his sensitive reserve wer
all at war. Tiiere was but one gleam
oi cum ft r'. The marri.i-.rP! l et ween
Lord Wynleigh and Katherine won! I
not t ike j 1 ice yet. Some unfo-cs.-en
combin-.t.on of circuoistanees might
take place tie fore then,
"It is not t,u;te the kind of marriage
that I txcit-d for Kath rlne," sail
Lady I'.ian don, when her husVand .sent

no opjvo-sitioii there is a cha.:i:v', iis you

"What chance?" asked Sir .Tamper.
"They tell me that the young manjuis
is not only very unsteady, hut that he
is certainly in declining b alth," sail
laidy I random 'If it ho;d 1 be so,
then Alton will bi EatI oi Woo lwyn.
1 hat woul 1 be a high positiou 1 should

-My tlear wife," remarked Sir Jasper,
"no good comes of hoping for dead
men"a shoos."
"I am not hoping for them," said
I-aur Erandon; "I am merely saying
that it would be an excellent thing Lm-Kathnrine.."'
, "Veronica.". said Katherine, "come to
my rooai when you go to dres.i for
.'.inner. 1 want to tell you. some
thing." An 1 wdien Veronica went in she
staited at the beautiful vision. Kath
erine stood ltefore her in a low d'nn.T
dress of white silk, trimmed with glow
ing crimson holly-b.Trics, h-r white
thoulders and arms gleaming like pearl,
a diamond cro.is on her whitj lrc.i--t
ami diamond stars in her golden hair.
She looked like a dream of beauty.
Veronica kissed the pretty shoulders
and the white arms.
'Ilow beautiful yon are, my darling!"
she said. "You look like the spirit of
Christmas. Now I See how beautiful
English women can be."
"I am always beautiful in your eyes,
Veronica," s'ie replied.
They were standing side by side,
Katherine all bi ight and radiant, Verou
ica, in her pale, passionate beauty, in
a long trailing black dress. The con
trast Wtween them was startling.
"I have something to tell you, Veron
ica," she said. "Never mind admiring
my dress never mind my diamonds
look at my face."
. "I am looking at it, ray darling' re
turned Veronica.
"Does it tell you anything?" asked
Katherine, w ith the low sweet laughter
of erfect content,
"Only that it is the dearest face in the
world," replied Veronica, kissing the
laughing lips.
"Veronica," said Katherine, "whom,
at this moment, should you consider
the vry h.tppks: iiliu al! the world';"
"The very happiest olall? Oh, how
could I toil "'
"I will :e!l you. It is myself, Ka ta
crine Er.-.ti '.on. And can you guess
why I a:u so happy ? It is be anse oh,
Veronica, Lo.v shall I tell you ? it is
bemuse someone whom I love very
much loves ma me, you understand
Veronica not my fortune, not Queen's
( hace, but me loves me and had
asked me to bo his w ife."
"His wi.," repeated Veronica, soi'fc
ly. Katherine, the laughter-loving
lftcauty, was suddenly invested whn an
impor.auce in her eyts which was
marvellous. ''How wouderiul how
strange:"
- "Nay, it is not strange, Veronica. I
love him he loves me. Can you gnes
who it is'.'"
Slowly the dark eyes wandered ott
tbe brig'it face, and then sad Vtroiaca
answ ered :
"It ii.u-t be Lord Wynleigh."
"Yes" s ii i Katherine, simply, "it is
Lord Wynleigh; and lam not one of
the happicr-t, out the happiest girl in all
the won. I. Nevertheless I tell myself
that such great joy as mine cannot l.'st
that a tiiuu will come wh n 1 must
sutler an 1 u ivp ait 1 grieve as ctu.-r p o
ied.. What will ii Iks for ? ' She looked
w istfully at Veronica as she 6ioke. "I
have r-ad," she sai !, "of ship3 safe
enough to sail in wdien the sea is calm,
but sure to sink when the storm comes
on. 1 think 1 should be like one of
thos? i-hi ; s I should go down iu the
tiist storm."
"We will horn? then thtt a s'orm -will
never rn;n.'," put in Veronioa. "If it
deji.'ii l -.1 oa ms there never should,"
uhe adde L '"still there is oua tiling I
con safely promise you one thing that
1 will do. If ever it lies in my po.ter
1o give you happiness, I w ill give it to
you.''
And the time came whrn the mem
ory oi l hos ; words weighed down the
balance iu w hit h site hell both lives.
CHAPTER V. i
As Veronica descen 'ed the broad
sfair.-rse she looked in astonishment at
th 1 l il.iat'.t scene that met h-r ga.? on
every si !e. The shining 1 hts, the
veal h of evergreens holly w .tii I vely
laugh'ng ciimson b. rries. the grjcful
laui-ft-l with its shining leaves, the dark
s.tat.-ly llr and the sweet mystical mis
tletoe it was all like a dr.-aiu to her.
Her heart warinei as she gaeJ. If
this was an English Christmas then
might Heaven bless Christm-is for ever
more ! Everyone had someth n kin I
to -:iy : there was a smile on every face,
light in kiu lly eyes, music in the sound
of kindly voices. Sha thought that
while she lived she would never forget
the words "I wish you a happy Christ
mas;" aal the speakers, t!ii kindly
people sj tender an Itrue of heart, wcrt
the cold reserved EnslLsh who her aunt
had toll her were accursed! She
looked at the noble faces of the men,
fans that told of power nn 1 si. ill. of
co U'.ig - an 1 seli-eouitnaud ; sdu looked
at the fair t.ioiide faces of the iaugiiinr
girls and the graceful women ; au.l sha
though: that thj English ver. a great
peop.e, greater than the old stately
Venetians There was not even a iiiige
oi envy iu h t heart as she noted the
lovely yu:i,-er gills. She was quite
tiuconst'ious of her own pietur.-s pie
beauty, of th poetical loveliness .f h-r
f.iee, the gva -e of her figure clad in its
tr..i ing black robes Among thus. fair
l-nii--.ii irls mic looked like a gorg-ous
passion tlowcr in the iuilbl oi white
lilieS.
She never forgot tlie Chfistmas din
r.'T, !:er first in England the grand
table with its costly silver and del'cate
gla-S tbe prolusion of 1 owers and
fruits the sparkiiii'g wines, the laughter,
the general air of happiness, while out
side tho w n.l wailed among the Lar.ess
trees and the stars shone iu the Christ
ma sky. She saw Katherine with her
Lr ght laughing fare mid her handsome
young lover follow ing her like a shadow.
1'ieSciitiy tir Jasper came up to her.
"Ho you like our English way of
keeping Christimis, Veioliiea ?'' he
asked.
She looked at him.
"it is n.ore beautiful than nnyth'ng I
I have ever seen," she replied ; and
then h turned abruptly away, for she
had looked at him with dead (Jiulia's
cyts.
"Veronica !" faid a low tleen voice.
Sftbe turned quickly and saw Lord Wyn
leigh standing -by her side. "I have
com to usk yon ii you are pleas. tl
AVa'k with me through the ici'tts. Yon
have not wished me a happy Christmas
yet,"
"'I hen I will do it now," she said ;
an t lxrd Wynleigh raised her hand to
his lips
Katherine has been telling me how
dearly -she loves you, and how good you
axe to her."
"I love her better than anything or
anyone in the world," she replied.
He looked half sadly at her.
"I have to come," he said, "to ask
you for a little share of that great affec
tion which you give to my peerless
Kate. I will deserve it. I Trill give
you the true, honest, frank, kindly af
fection of a brother to sister. Will you
atvept it ?"
She looked up at him.
"I am bewildered," she said. "What
have I done that Heaven should give
me so much what have I done ? Only
a few moutlis since no one loved me,
now " "
"You aftcept it. then?" interrupted
Loid Wynleigh. 'If you want a friend,
you wul come to me; l. ever you want
help of any kind you will remember
tliat on Christmas Pay you promised
a stalwart brother to let him stand be
tween you au i the world."
"I s'ua-1 never forget," she said.
And Lord Wynleigh left her standing
by the door of the conservatory while
he went iu search of K at hern?.
Veronica wis nnutieraViy haypy ;
into h- r gray dull life such threads of
gold Were woveu that she was dazzled
by them. She bad hungered and
thirsted for love ; now it was lavished
upon ber. She stood on the sine ppot
still, unconscious of her p'cturiS,U3 J
lowliness watching Katherine and her
lover, a id as she watched them stranga
sweet possibilities of life cams floating
to her. She had thought of herself so
long and so often as one apart from
others, as oni for whom life held no
pleasures, no hopes ; now was the dawn
of a gold-n morning," now the sweet
vague delicious fancies that thrill the
heart of a young girl thrille 1 her. It
might be that i i the golden far oT
future such love as Alton's for Kath
irine would fall to her lot. Perhaps
her life too would be crowned by that
most pure an 1 peifeet gift a nohle
lover. If heaven had such happiness in
store for her
. "I am afraid," said a deep musical
voice near hrr, 'that you will take cold
there is qu.te a rush of cold air here."
VT3:uea looked up suddenly. A tall
stitely figure stood between her and
the light ; dark gray eyes were looking
into her own. Shvj saw a handsome,
noble f.i'-e, a prouJ, piineely head cov
ered with chv.-ters of fair hair. It w as
a face that from that moment stood out
r'.ear and distinct from all other faces.
The gentleman smiled at the Lai. '-bewildered
expression of this dark eyes.
"I must introduce myse'.f agairLi' he
said. " Sir Jasper introduced me to you
ju--t lx; 'ore dinner, but I was one of so
many, I cannit hop? to have lieen notic- '
ed. Io you not remember me ?"
"No,"' ahe repliel. "Sir Jasper intro
duce 1 so many people to me at once,
and English names are hard to remem
ber. 1 shotil I lie glad if you would tell
me yours,'' she addeit, with 60Uie Lcti-tuii-n.
"Ytii will say that it is a 6trange one
p rh tps," he said. "I am t:r Mare
Caryl I."
".-ir Marc Caryll," she repent?.!. "1
slinll remember that in connection with
the patron saint of Venice St. Mark."
She coul l not tell why, but the name
stvmed to sink into the depths of her
heatt like the echo of a snug. Then ehe
looked at him, and decid d that, al
though she Lai seen some noble men,
he was by far the handsoin.-st and no
blest. There was an air of comtnan 1,
of power, of authority about him which
pleased her. He' looked lik a man
whose will was strory and relontteswt,
whose purpose was hxed, whose judg
ment was clear and decided. Self-reliance,
courag., bravery all tho qual
ities were written on the fair handsome
fare, that had in it at times a woman's
sweetness and the simplicity of a child.
A swift sudden thought came to her
that a life would be safe in tiiose strong .
ban is of his honor, fair fame, every
thing might be iutrusted to him, and
the trust woul 1 be kept.
Sir Mure smiled at her.'
"I can read your thoughts," he saiJ;
"you have been estimating my charac
ter. 1 will not ask you w hat you think
of it ; I wi.l only say I hope your mn
rlus'.cns are favorable. Missdi Cyn'.ha,
Iry one dan-'e with me. Chria'.mas Ihiy
is past ; and an example has been set
us,"
Veronica remembered that Christmas
night it was the beginning of a new
the to her. The vague sw.vt ios?i!iIi
ties.that had thrilled her as she watch
ed Kstherina took shape now vague,
beaut fal shape; - something awoke in
tier heart which hail nev.r been there
before sometimes so tender, si sweet,
that the g'iri's whole sonl was moved by
it. Life v.as never to be the same agjiu
for her; she had inherited something
of th j quick love and the quick hatred
that characterized the P. ran. Ions. She
had in her more of her father's nature
than her mother's.
"Your face is a poem," siid Sir Marc
later on that same Christmas night
"a poem that 1 should never tire of lta.l
ing." She danced with him, she talked to
him; mora than one amus.-d glance
follow etl them she with her dark Ven
etian beauty, he with bfs Saxon coineli-ue.-'s;
they seeiued to have forgotten
the world. Once Sir Marc tooS her to
the great western window in th.i broad
corridor, and drawing aside the lutng
ings, he said to her :
"Look, Miss di Cynfha I want yo'u
to see the poetry of an Eiigliidi CiaLt
mas." Veronica cried ont in wonder and
awe. The sky wa.i of deep, dark, fath
omless Liu.;' the moon was full, and
shone with a clear silvery light; the
eaith lay white, still, and be.-iuiiiul uir
di-r the pale clear beams; the hard
frost made the tall leafless tre '3 look
darker, and the hoar-frost s'ao.ia in the
light of th'3 moon. Tha win t wailed
among the trees, bending their t ill heajs
and swaying the huge branches.
"How beautiful 1" she cried. "There
is nothing in all Venice so fair as this.
I thougiit there was no poetry in Eng
land ; but it is full of it, Tuis looks like
fairyland."
"You will try to love England 7" he
said.
i do love it without trying," sha re
plied. "I could almost fancy thera was
some mysterious reason why my heart
should have warmed so greatly for it ;
it seems more my home lhaa Venice,
ever did."
was looking intently at her with
Lis dark gray eyes.
"You will uot wish to return to Ven
ice then?" You would be content to re
main in England all your life ?"
She raised her beautiful face ; the
dark eyes looked at the blue wintry
night-sky, at the fair white earth, at the
quaint shadows the moon made through
the trees ; and then she turned to Sir
Marr.
"Venice would seem a prison to me
after this," she 6ai l ; and as the said it
sha wondered why he looked so bright
and pleased.
! should like you to see my horn?,"
he rerrjsrs"d. "It is, I thirc'c, even
moi-i iwautit'ul than Queen's Chare. It
is called Wervehurst Manor, and it
stm Is in the loveliest part of Sussex.
We have music there nature's granJ
tst. The sea lies at no great d.i-t n e;
and far away to the right stretches a
cliain of hills, pnrple hills on which
the light of the sun lies low. I have a
passionate love for my ho -:e."
She was silent. He wvtit on.
"And I live there, Miss di Cyntha,
all alone. Can you imagine that? I
have no mo', her, no sister. There is a
large household of servant-, but I am
qnlti solitary. 1 want w hat the pots
call an angel in the house."
. "What is that ?" asked Veronica.
"That is English for a wife," be re
plied ; and the beautiful face drooped
before his.
Her heart beat; a strange pain, that
was yet half pleasure, teeaajd to thrill
her innocent soul.
"I must leave you," she Faid, hur
riedl v. "I am quite sure that Katherine
wauls me ."
"Whre you go I follow," declared
Sir Mare; ' and far that evening at least
he kept Lis word.
CHAPTER VI.
Auewlif' a "lot-ions new life, bright,
hopeful, plestnt, full of poetry, fuil of
wou l -r and romanca ! The timecuns
- wh.Ti Yc-or.iea beaan to wonder whstt
it w:ts liiat bal failen over her life.
What was the dazzling light that bail
falle.i nt h-r feet? Why whs it that
fr nn mor.iiag lo night and hotn night
to morning aha had - but one thought
and t.iat was about Marc Caryil?
Christmas had passed now, and the
beautiful springtide had set in. The
air was balmy with the sweet breath oi ,
iiowt rs, yet Sir Jasper bad not tecovered
much of his ttreugth. The doctors
would not allow bitu to return to his
duiies; he must rest if he would live
In vain the active energetic statesman
rebelled. He refused for a tiu;e to sub
mit, until lie saw the absolute necessity
for it. Then he found lxrd Wynleigh
of great us-s to him. He had been refill-.
ied as member for Hurst wood, and
had male his maiden speech toevery
bo ly's great surpiis it was simply a
masterpiece of eloquence. Sir Jasjer
gave up some of his duties to the young
politician, alout whom people proplie
sie I great, things.
The baronet was well pleased. It
had always been a source ot sorrow to
him that he had no son to succeed to
bis honors; but he loved the brave
young noileman in whom all Kather
ine's happiness seemed to be centred.
When de.-p ui lent thoughts came to
him, he said to himself that he should
have a successor. He insisted ujxin
La'ly FranMon's taking Veronica and
Katherine to Ixndon for part of the
season at least, and nothing pleas jd him
better than to rea l her la -iysh p's let
ters in which she told of Veronica's sac
cesses and tiiuiuphs.
"The girl can marry whom she will,"'
wrote Lady lhaiu'.on; "her inagiii-icent
beauty has brought all I-oa ion to hr
feet, i- he docs not teem to cio iiLoat
any one in particular."
Veronica had suddenly beco-v.e fa
mous. Her rara styleof face and figure,
her wonderful grace and musical voice,
had made her the observed of all. She
received more invitations thau she
could possibly accept. Everyone ad
mired and lik-d her. lint, w hen I.a ly
1 h an. Ion had been in town a few weeks
she decided upon returning. Sir Ja-per
was no better, and the doctor att 'uding
him did not think it advisable that ha
should leliy consulting some eminent
physician. So they went home aiiain,
and, r.s he looked at his two .laughters,
the master oi tueen's Chace was struck
afresh. Katherine's animated loveli
ness and Veronica's pale beauty seem d
to Lave acquired fresh lusire. Those
few weeks in town hal won leriuiiy
improved Veronica -they hal given a
fin.sh and elegance to her such as can
be ac piircd only by mixing with the
mo t ref.ned. She had enjoyed her
visit, but not much because sir Man
was away. The season had but little
at'.ra Hons for him. He was not a man
of fashion.' A" cruise to Norway bad
more char:r:s for hi in than a season in
iAindou. He had written tos.iythathe
hoped to piss through Hurst wood in
July or August, and would very much
like to spend a few days thera, to which
Sir Jasper had replied by sending him
a most cordial invitation, guessing
shrewdly what was the attraction; so
that Veronka had that to look forward
to, an 1 the knowledge of it ma ie her
profoundly iaditlerent to all the homage
oiicrvd her.
The old bitter struggle was still going
cn in Sir Jasper's mind. What should
hj cio? Ins heart was torn witti t
ho'.tstnl doubts, a thousand fears.
There wes hardly an hour of the twenty
four ihir n which he did not again ant
again review all his reasons and doubts.
Io as be w ould, one or the oth.tr nms
Buller. Should it be -Katherine, the
blight lair chil l, the descendant of the
proud Valdoraines; or Veronica, win
looked up at him with dead Ginlia'i
eyes ? AV hich of the two si ;dd it be '.
He would have given his life to sav
either. One thing he had done, lit
had sent for a strange lawyer, and hai
made another. will, in which he lold t-
secret oi Veronica's birth, jTid le.:'t ii
her the grand inheritance of - ueen'i
Chace and IlurstwooJ. That will he
kept by lJ.ni. Remembering it, lie wa
more at case whenever he thought ol.
her. ,
He grew wors?. The doctors did not.
apprehend any immediate danger ; be
was only siifTering from overtaxed
strength, fro ii ills that might be rem
edied. He did not even keep his room.
Sir Ja?prr himself was mora alarmed
than th people alout him. Stranger
sensations came to him. Thera were
times when he fancied, as h walkcxl
through the shady garden pat h i, thit
stranga voices called him ; be ta
strange figures in his troubled sl?('i,
strange faces smiled at bitu from tU
picture frames. ,
One day how Veronica rememberel ;
it afterward! he had walku.t in tt :
grounds and when the sun grew r.-.ir n
he went into the drawing-r;om c;? '
on a coach. Veronica wa.i there. IT'.
asked her to read to him, sin 1 siu -i.d -so

to clcso them round someone whom l.o

opened and looked wildly at her.
"liiulia," lie cried again, 'whersai
I? It is you, and yet another."
"Sir Jasper," said Veronica, "you io
dreaming yoa are ill."
He looked in bewilderment ft her...-
"tiiulia's eyes" he said, "hut, another
face. What does it mean '.'"
"You have been dreaming," remark
ed tbe girl quietly. "Can I get any--thing
for you? Shall 1 bring Lady
Lratidnn ?"
He gave a smothered moan.
"I -vou are right, Vertf.'ca I w-i
diearring. !o, do not'e.Ji anyone;

"It was Juno then, -when the dar3

in her fingers a ripe sunny peach,
"This is just like Katherine's check.
she said, laughingly. And she looked
so like her mother at that moment that
he could have cried aloud iu his lett

"You have learned to love Kathcrirrv
Veronica ?" be said, gently.
"Hotter than I love my life," i-Vi
said, blushing to find that she no longer '
said, "lietter than 1 love anyone eiikj iu
the world."
He looked up at her suddenly.
"Have you learned to love m
Veronica?" he asked.
"Yes, jnst as dearly," she replied.
Then they were silent he mute with
emotion, she wondering that be should .
speak to her in this strain he who had
always been so distant and so reserved,
Then he was restless all the day. When .
evening came, he asked Katherine to
sing all her old songs to him the songs
he loved best ; ami Veronic . fancied .
that his eyes filled with tears. Then,
when it was growing later, he called
Katherine to him. She knelt down by
bis side, and he drew her golden Lead
down on to his breast.
"My child, my darling," he Baid,,
"have I been kind to you?" ,
"Always, papa," she replied.
"Have you had a happy life Katie,
toll me a happy life?"
"Yes" she answered. "Papa, you
know that I have never had one mo
ment's care or trouble, one moment's
sadness, ever since I was a child."
"Thank Heaven for that!" he said
gently. "If I should die, Katie di
and leave you would anyone ever
make you think me unkind ever
make you love me less?"
"No, never, papa," she said, laughing
at the notion "never."
"Kiss me. Tell me you love me,"
he said. "Will you rememlier in the
after years that I would have given my
life at any time to save you from
pain?"
"Yes," replied Katherine, and. obey
ing his wish, she clasped her tender
arms round his neck. "I love you very .
dearly, papa," she said, "mote than I
can tell you, and I am longing for the
day to come when you w ill be strong
ami well again."
'lo be Continued.
Tea la Japan.
Although tea baa now become a general
beverage throughout the world, it has been
used iu Japan for more than a thousand
years, and its preparation there has almost.
reacheJ the dignity of an art. Green tea in
leaf is there aiuiost universallv used, and
tbe decoction is made by pouring upon it,
water heated to 176 d eg. V. The Japanese
driii k lea without milk or sugar, which they.
Omit deprive it of iu delicate aroma, lber
aie aho very particular to use tea-pots mode
of a peculiar kind of pottery, know n by the '
name ot "Haku-yaki, ' which are not only
very elegant, tut also have the property of
preserving the heat for a long time. It is.
an example of very bad manners not to otter
