Good Company.

One evening a lady of New York, while on her way home at a late hour, without an escort, was approached by a lewd fellow, as the boat on which they rode neared its landing, who asked—
“Are you alone?” “No, sir,” was the reply, and, without further interruption, when the boat touched, she jumped off.
“I thought you were alone,” said the fellow, stepping to her side again.
“I am not,” replied the lady.
“Why, I don’t see any one; who is with you?”
“God and the angels, sir; I am never alone!”
This arrow pierced the villain’s heart, and with these parting words, “You keep too good company for me, madam,” he shot out of sight, leaving the heroic lady to enjoy her good company.
