"down-charge, sir, will you? ah, pat! pat! you'll have to obey me, my boy. Now, down-charge!"
while rose addressed the language of reason to pat, ferdinand slipped in a soft word or two. Presently she saw him on one knee. "pat won't, and i will," said he. "but pat shall, and you had better not," said she. "besides, my dear ferdinand," she added, laughing, "you don't know how to do it. ". Date: 16 June 1860.
