Tell them from me, said Mrs. D., that Mr. Davis never eats on fast-day. and that as soon as he returns from church he shuts himseMr. Davis never eats on fast-day. and that as soon as he returns from church he shuts himself up in his study, and is never interrupted during the day, except on public business.
