This text appeared a kind of answer to my prayer, and gave me courage to make one more attempt to soften you in my favor. I resolved to set out directly to find you, to confess my disobedience, and to beg a scanty pittance with which I and my child might be meanly supported in some distant county, where we should not, by our presence, disgrace our more happy relations.
"It is just what I wish, sir," replied his son; "I will be with you directly. Shall I find you in the library?" "Yes. I hope the child was not hurt, Horace?" he added, inquiringly, stepping back again just as he had reached the door.

"I hope it won't fall altogether," he said, "for as we have no paddles it would be awkward for us." "Two of the bottom boards will do for paddles."
