"No, my sweet," said Emily, consoling her empty arms for their loss, and appeasing her heart with a kiss. "And father always said that some day he should come home to early dinner," continued Hugh, "and show the great magic lantern up in Parliament. Then Swan's grandchildren and the coachman's little girls are coming; and every one is to have a present. It will be such fun."
Tickler, consoling himself that the landlord was a shabby fellow, proceeded forthwith to the cars, and was soon on the road to Baltimore. Several days elapsed, and, as might naturally be expected, a great stir was made about Mr.
My ever kind friend, the duchesse d'Aiguillon, was not long ere she too made her appearance, with the view, and in the hope of consoling me. I could not resist her earnest endeavours to rouse me from my grief, and a grateful sense of her goodness obliged me to deck my features with at least the semblance of cheerfulness.

Crossing the open valley in front I came to the long ridge called Observation Hill. There the rifle fire hardly ever ceases.
