This is how Mr. Deane and his aris- tocratic republican acquaintances al- lude to the gentleman whom they delight to describe as "a grandson of his lorslilp, the Right Honorable the Earl of Ferrard," informing them- selves from. Lady Damer's letter, wherein gracious condescension and stately friendliness are so cleverly blended that Mr. Deane cannot per- use the touching allusions to " the mutual deep affeetien which exists between the young people," with- out likewise being dazzled by an array of glittering statements to the effect that Lis proposed son-iu- law, Captain Bingham Laey of the 18th Lancero, is the son of the late Lady Louise and Colonel Lacy, C.

And then Lady Darner feels, after those letters are all safely on their way, that her next achievement must be in carrying off her prize out of all possible interference. • Sitcannot breathe quite freely with Anne O'Neil's presence near by, and the possibilities of Anne's un- tamed tamed spirit, ever ready for revolt against the smooth wrongs and placid tyranny of her life, joining Issue with her husband's—Harry Dancer's—sullen suspicions, and both together springing a mine beneath her feet when she least looks for dan- ger and discovery. Lady Jeannette cannot and will not commit herself to ask of Anne a single question about that fatal night when poor George Archer was driven out like eshmael into the wilderness of the expecte And so she remains• amid prefers to remain, in utter ignorance of any additional facts respecting his depar- ture, or the receipt of that letter of lits by Gillian. She shrewdly guesses that Anne could give her—if she would—ample Information on the subject ; but Lady Deaner remembers the homely pro- verb and "lets sleeping dogs lie."
