That is a settled point. But how is the girl to be managed?" Lyon mused for a long time. "Dear child!" He now spoke with a tender expression. "I have laid too heavy a weight on your young heart, and I wish it were in my power to remove it; but it is not." He took a pen, as he said this, and commenced writing an answer to Fanny's letter:
"And why should he be made to, Captain Lyon? In what way has he opposed the United States troops?" It was Virginia who spoke. Both looked at her in astonishment. "You will pardon me, Miss Carvel," said Captain Lyon, gravely, "if I refuse to discuss that question with you." Virginia bit her tongue. "I understand that Mr. Colfax is a near relative of yours, Miss Carvel," the Captain continued.
The English want to fish in our waters, I believe. I think Mr. Lyon has had a nibble from a fresh-water fish. Perhaps it's the other way, and he's hooked. There be fishers of men, you know, mother."

What has the enterprise I am now prosecuting to do with this matter of our daughter?" "Much, every way. Does it not so absorb your mind that you cannot think clearly on any other subject? And does not your business connection with Mr. Lyon bias your feelings unduly in his favour?" Mr. Markland shook his head. "But think more earnestly, Edward. Review what this man has done.

She felt tired and sleepy, and did not want to walk about the garden after supper as Mrs. Lyon kindly suggested; and not until Mrs. Lyon said that Melvina, on every pleasant day, walked about the garden after supper, did Anna go slowly down the path. But she stood at the gate looking in the direction of her home with wistful eyes.
