As he leant against the wall, with his

Having finished this characteristic
soliloquy, the anibiiines woman moved
away fro.0 the solitary spot, and re-
entered the house.
On the following uoraing as they rase
from breakfast, Mr. Grahame requested
Euetaoe to sooumpary him to the library,

the grandtr.tlter of Eustace, the rich
manufacturer who had purchased the
estate, and the other by that of his
Lather, the present possessor.
Before the convenatinn opens let us

Mr. Graham was a talc, straight Loan,

quainted me with this. I hope you have
not done anything which I cannot ap-
prove.'
'I hope not,' answered Rootlet, quite
calmly, for he was conscious of no wrong
on his part, and was as yet entirely
ignorant of the views and feelings which
hu father cherished.
'Then tell me who the lady is,' con-
tinued the father, 'for in my mind I hare
run over all the families in the neighbor -
