Anna Sophia was just leaving the house, paper in hand, and advanced, with a cheerful smile, to meet him. "Father," said she, "I have the paper, and we are the first to read it.

The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister.
