　　"That is a grand pianoforte, and he might think it too large for Mrs. Bates's house."

　　"You may say what you chuse——but your countenance testifies that your thoughts on this subject are very much like mine."

　　"I do not know. I rather believe you are giving me more credit for acuteness than I deserve. I smile because you smile, and shall probably suspect whatever I find you suspect; but at present I do not see what there is to question. If Colonel Campbell is not the person, who can be?"

　　"What do you say to Mrs. Dixon?"

　　"Mrs. Dixon! very true indeed. I had not thought of Mrs. Dixon. She must know as well as her father, how acceptable an instrument would be; and perhaps the mode of it, the mystery, the surprize, is more like a young woman's scheme than an elderly man's. It is Mrs. Dixon, I dare say. I told you that your suspicions would guide mine."

　　"If so, you must extend your suspicions and comprehend Mr. Dixon in them."

　　"Mr. Dixon.——Very well. Yes, I immediately perceive that it must be the joint present of Mr. and Mrs. Dixon. We were speaking the other day, you know, of his being so warm an admirer of her performance."

　　"And, upon my word, they have an air of great probability. Mr. Dixon's preference of her music to her friend's, I can answer for being very decided."

　　"And then, he saved her life. Did you ever hear of that?—— A water party; and by some accident she was falling overboard. He caught her."

　　"He did. I was there——one of the party."

　　"Were you really?——Well!——But you observed nothing of course, for it seems to be a new idea to you.——If I had been there, I think I should have made some discoveries."

　　"The arrival of this pianoforte is decisive with me. I wanted to know a little more, and this tells me quite enough. Depend upon it, we shall soon hear that it is a present from Mr. and Mrs. Dixon."
