I wonder you could give her up so easily to him, after all your trouble!" "Smitten, my lord?" inquired Ormiston, maliciously. "Hopelessly!" replied the earl, with a deep sigh. "She was a perfect little beauty; and if I can find her, I warn Sir Norman Kingsley to take care!
It has been so graphically narrated by Canon Kingsley that I shall once more quote from his eloquent pages.
