all look very happy, but I think Mrs. Campbell is the most so of any.
At a little distance from this last small circle stands our old
friend, Girly, now grown beyond all recognition into a pleasing and
promising womanhood; and away in the misty background a long-forgotten
trio loom out in sombre sullenness; they are Mrs. Hampden, and Fred
and the 'solicitous brother.' Fred is a hopeless dyspeptic, who can
give his mind to nothing else but his digestion, which unfortunate
circumstance frets his new disenchanted parent and provokes his no
longer solicitous uncle.

They are all in apparent ill-humour, so we will screen them off from
our laughing, happy band, as we rise to make our final curtsey and
retire behind the curtain of our private, domestic lives.
