And Captain Oliphant felt it would be distinctly convenient, for a while, to be relieved of the presence both of his co-trustee and his ward. He felt himself quite competent to deal with the trust moneys which were shortly about to come in without assistance. When, therefore, Roger with some hesitation returned to the charge, he said, somewhat severely
Calmly indifferent as to the effect of his communication on the lawyer, Mr Armstrong was at that moment having an audience with his co-trustee and mistress, Mrs Ingleton. "Mr Armstrong," said she, "I hope for all our sakes you see your way to accept the duties my dear husband requested of you." "I have written to Mr Pottinger to notify my consent." "I am so glad.
With the infatuation of those who dally with this kind of temptation, Mr. Arnot felt sure that he could soon make good all that he should use in his present emergency, and, therefore, forged the name of the co-trustee. The gentleman returned from Europe unexpectedly, and the crime was discovered and speedily proved. It was now that Mrs. Arnot proved what a noble and womanly nature she possessed.

I am bound to hand over the sapphire to my daughter on her marriage, if her husband consents to take the name of Montanaro." The bishop's face was ghastly pale, and the moisture started on his brow. I racked my brain for some word of comfort. "Miss Panton may never marry."

"I think it would be a pity for you to leave Maxfield just now. One of us should remain." "Yes, do stay. We'll have such larks," said Tom.
