"It won't do to stray the wan from the tother. No, it won't. Let us hold fast, thin, where we're already belayed." "But who the deuce can sleep here?" remonstrated the son of Erin.

"This designing cousin of yours quite deceived me, Miss Tulliver," said Stephen, seating himself by Lucy, and stooping to play with Minny, only looking at Maggie furtively.

But now let us try to think what can be done to pay for the watch."

"Don't confuse her!" remonstrated every one of the party, "don't muddle her!" "A maiden is wounded at heart."
That evening, for the first time, Arthur sat up by the fire in the grandfather chair with a blanket round him, and enjoyed a dainty little feast which had been especially provided, as he understood, in honour of the event.
