Though not provided with luxurious food, Dr. Townsend had spoken with so much plainness that Mrs. Mudge felt compelled to modify her treatment, lest, through his influence, she with her husband, might lose their situation. This forced forbearance, however, was far from warming her heart towards its object. Mrs.

Mudge had seen fit to pay no attention to her request, as it would interfere with purposes of her own, the character of which may easily be guessed. As she suspected, Paul's letter had been deposited in this chest. Accordingly, the same afternoon, she left her work in the kitchen in order to institute a search for it.

Signing to the men to uncoil the rope, the end of which he allowed to fall over till it apparently reached the bottom, he now by gestures inquired which of us was ready to descend. "We must first secure the upper end, my friend," observed Mudge; a matter the black did not appear to have considered.

"I wish I had been with him," exclaimed Mudge; "but I was not, for the best of reasons I was still in the nursery, and had not thought of going to sea." We all said the same, though none of the rest of us happened to have been born at that time, as it was just the beginning of the century.

We were walking on when Harry exclaimed, "Look! look! what is that fearful creature?" "A small bear, I do believe, by its colour and the way it walks," exclaimed Mudge as he ran on. "I hope soon to be better acquainted with the gentleman."

My father considered the matter, and, greatly to my satisfaction, finally agreed to let me accompany Mudge.

One day, as Paul was working in the field at a little distance from Mr. Mudge, he became conscious of a peculiar feeling of giddiness which compelled him to cling to the hoe for support, otherwise he must have fallen. "No laziness there," exclaimed Mr. Mudge, observing Paul's cessation from labor, "We can't support you in idleness." But the boy paid no regard to this admonition, and Mr.

"No, but I was afraid you would venture too far, and get us both into trouble." "Trust me for that, Paul; I've got my eyes wide open, and ain't easily caught.

He looked foolish enough when I asked him if you were his son."
