Shortly afterward, in due conrHe of business, ho' sent her a somewhat formidable account. On the following day his client called on him, and asked him if he had been serious in his proposal. "Proposal? But I have not proposed," replied the solicitor somewhat aghast. "What!" replied the fair client calmly. "You have asked for my fortune! I should hav supposed that you would at least have had the politeness to take me along with it."
