see me there. My question was an idle
one of a stranger's curiosity. It is own-

"Y es, sir; and a very nice gentleman
he is, too; and Mrs. Addison likewise,"
"Oh-" said the guest, reflecting on the

"At home?"
"From the town, sir, and farms —

vegetables (fruit they've got)—every-
thing they can buy around, they do, only
it must be the best, in course, sir."
"Certainly."
"Then look at the extra food and
fodder for the horses, sir; no sending

"I think I should. Pll devote the

said Mr. Morley, smiling.
"Yes." he reflected, when he was done,
"these farm people who serve the Hall

the guests know themselves, too; and if,

The hall party had evidently been

hear them in the large private parlor
below his roman, and as all the doors

sometimes Mrs. Ellington, or Miss Le-
