Excerpt: ...Miss Gabriel; and--and if you won''t mind accepting-- Miss Gabriel held out the smaller coin by way of finishing the sentence. What''s that for? asked Mrs. Treacher. The circumstances were so unusual, and in a way--ha, ha!--so amusing---- Oh! Mrs. Treacher interrupted. Unusual, was they? I''m glad to hear it. Why, of course, they were unusual, Miss Gabriel persisted, albeit a trifle dashed; and indeed so incredibly absurd that we have brought Mr. Pope to hear your account of them; for, I assure you, he''ll hardly believe us. Mrs. Treacher looked at Mr. Pope solemnly for the space of about ten seconds, and then as solemnly at the ladies. What won''t he believe? Why--Miss Gabriel plucked up her courage--there was so much that afterwards, when we came to compare notes, neither of us could explain--as, for instance, who was the strange lady that walked into the room and was evidently surprised to see us, as we were naturally surprised to see her----- Mrs. Treacher turned slowly again to Mr. Pope, whose face (since this was the first he had heard of any strange lady) expressed no small astonishment. Poor man! she murmured, sympathetically, did they really go so far as all that? I assure you-- began Mrs. Pope stammering. Oh, go your ways and take ''em home! cut in Mrs. Treacher. I''m a friend to my sex in most matters; but to come askin'' me to back up such a tale as that, and for a shillin''! She turned her palm over and let the coin drop on the soil at her feet. But here unhappily, at the height of Mrs. Treacher''s indignation, a sneeze sounded from a bush across the patch of garden; and the eyes of her visitors, attracted by the sound, rested on an object which Mrs. Treacher, by interposition of her shoulders, had been doing her best to hide--a scarecrow standing unashamed in the midst of the garrison potato...
