At this the poor Jew was much afraid. But the stranger said: "Give up the foolish idea of getting me out of thy house. At this the poor Jew wrung his hands and lamented, crying: "God of my fathers! I am scourged with the rod of Thine anger, and poverty-smitten for ever and ever!

Then she remained silent for a few seconds, looking absently before her. "See here, Rod," and she smiled upon the boy for the first time in her life, "I will forgive you for what you said about my nose if you will tell me something." "What is it?" "You remember that fine looking man, with the blue eyes, and hair streaked with grey." "Can't say that I do, Miss Arabella."

This declaration had an effect on the company as sudden as surprising. The young prince became as supple as a spaniel, the ambassador trembled, the general sat silent and abashed, and the doctor, who it seems, had felt the rod of power, grew pale as death, and assured us all, that he had no intention to affront any person or people.

He began beating the bars with the thin end of the rod, and broke it! "That's the way you use your fishing-rods," cried the free, pleasant voice of the new-comer. "I shouldn't mind being appointed purveyor of tackle to your lordship." The stranger was an active little man, older than Hartledon; his features were thin, his eyes dark and luminous.
