...typographical errors should exist is inevitable, humanly speaking. But the editing, on the whole, is careful and judicious, and we trust that we may have the pleasure of welcoming next year another Index from the same hands.

She was naturally fluttered at the thought of receiving so distinguished a visitor, the more so because she was utterly ignorant of what ought to be done in the present case. To Ching's inquiries about her father, she hesitatingly answered that he had just gone out, but would probably be back in a short time. "Won't you come in and wait?" she added...
