QUEEN.
Go tell this heavy message to the king.--
[Exit Vaux.]
Ay me! what is this world! what news are these!
But wherefore grieve I at an hour's poor loss,

She looked around the circle suspiciously, and every one of us
looked as guilty as if he had been caught with the mumps
concealed around him somewhere.
"I didn't have real mumps," Mr. Dick explained. "It was only--
er--a swelling."
