"Will you walk with me to meet him this evening?" "I should like to. Else it would seem as if I had forgotten him," said Thomasin, tossing out a bough. "Not that that would matter much; I belong to one man; nothing can alter that.

But, when she is in the presence of an old nest, of which she is quite unable to alter the general arrangement, how is she to make use of the few vacant rooms, the large and the small alike, if the sex of the egg be already irrevocably fixed? She can only do so by abandoning the arrangement in two consecutive rows and accommodating her laying to the varied exigencies of the home.

"Your conclusions must differ very materially from mine," I returned; "or you would see that this discovery alters the complexion of the whole affair." "It does not alter the truth." "What is the truth?" Mr. Gryce's very legs grew thoughtful; his voice sank to its deepest tone. "Do you very much want to know?" "Want to know the truth? What else are we after?"

He was the commander of the "Ram Chunder" East Indiaman, and has quarrelled with the Pocklingtons ever since he bought houses in the parish.

Don't forget your oars. Don't sit on the gunwale-the edge of the boat. Don't alter course too suddenly. Don't let go the helm for an instant. Don't mistake caution for cowardice. Don't be afraid to reef. Don't let your gear get snarled. Don't jibe in a stiff wind. Don't get rattled. Don't sail with "fool" companions.
