"Mr. Midith, will you please give us an account of your monetary system? " asked Mr. Uwins, as the whole family were enjoying the green lawn, after our first stroll.
"With the greatest of pleasure," said Mr. Midith, apparently enjoying a high sense of satisfaction. "But, before I proceed with the monetary account, allow me to say that this door-yard picture, as we are here now, reminds me of a miniature Marsian family.
