You should say you are in a perspiration. Well, Judy promised she'd remember, because she liked Mrs. Frewen and was anxious to please her. Not long afterwards Judy was scrubbing the kitchen floor one morning, and when Mrs. Frewen came in Judy looked up and said, quite proud over using the right word, 'Oh, Mees Frewen, ain't it awful hot? I declare I'm all in a Presbyterian."

On the 17th of September Sir Edward Carson had been quietly married in the country to Miss Frewen, and he was accompanied to Belfast a few days later by the new Lady Carson, who then made acquaintance with Ulster and her husband's followers for the first time.

"I don't think it's right to talk of such things. Cecily, are you sure your feet ain't damp? We ought to go in anyhow it's too chilly out here for you." "You girls had better go," said Dan, "but I ain't going in till old Isaac Frewen goes. I've no use for him." "I hate him, too," said Felicity, agreeing with Dan for once in her life.

Captain Marston was not only my captain, but my friend. And I would give my life for his wife. Tell her from me that it will hurt me if she even speaks of this money to me." "As you will, Mr. Villari," said Raymond kindly, who saw that the Italian was excited. "I will tell her to-morrow. But I trust you will now understand that Mr. Frewen had no desire to supplant you in any way." "I understand.

"Better stay," Mr Frewen whispered; and then in answer to my questioning look, he shook his head, and I knew that it was all over. It was close upon sundown, and the interior of the cabin was filled with an orange glow when Mr Frewen came in again. Walters seemed to be fast asleep, quite free from pain, and breathing easily. "You must be terribly faint, my lad.

"Indeed!" said Frewen, with an air of concern, instantly surmising that the injured man was either Almanza or the Chileno sailor whom Villari had shot. "Is he getting on all right?" "Not at all well and unfortunately I do not know anything about a fractured collar-bone." Frewen replied, with perfect truth, that he had seen several broken collar-bones. Perhaps he might be of assistance.

After tea Mrs. Frewen and her sister wished to visit their father's grave in the Carlisle churchyard. It appeared that everybody wanted to go with them; but it was evident that somebody must stay home with Jimmy Patterson, who had just fallen sound asleep on the kitchen sofa. Dan finally volunteered to look after him.

I think I can relieve two of you gentlemen now. Mr Frewen, will you fight out another hour or two, while these gentlemen go and change, and have an hour or two's sleep?" "I'll go and change," said Mr Denning; "but no sleep to-day." "Please yourselves, gentlemen; but you must have rest, and be in readiness for a call. Hah! that's grand; what should we do without the sun?"

"What does he say?" asked Mr Frewen. "Says he is so glad, sir." "Thank him, and ask him about the passengers, whether any one is hurt." I whispered the question through the hole, and listened for the answer. "Captain Berriman and Mr Brymer both wounded again in the struggle, when the men rushed into the saloon after the explosion. Now shut up in their cabins."

Suddenly the rain fell, and all other sounds were deadened by the downpour; it continued for three-quarters of an hour, and then, as Frewen remarked, ceased with a "snap."
