Excerpt from Fanny Lambert: A Novel

"You may take away the things, Belinda, " said Mr Leavesley, lighting his pipe and taking his seat at the easel. "Nobody called this morning, I suppose?"

"Only the Capting, sir, " replied Belinda, piling the tray. "He called at seven to borry your umbrella."

"Did you give it him?"

"No, sir, Mr Verneede's got it, you lent it to him the night before last, and he hasn't brought it back."
