Campbell and the girls went round the rooms of the Hall to ascertain that every thing was left tidy, neat, and clean. The poor girls sighed as they passed by the harp and piano in the drawing-room, for they were old friends. "Never mind, Mary," said Emma; "we have our guitars, and may have music in the woods of Canada without harp or piano."

"The best man in England," said Patterson, "can't ride to hounds without a tidy animal under him." "Nor yet can't the best horse in England stick to hounds without a good man on top of him," said the determined Crocker.

'Well, go to sleep, my lass, said grandmother; 'that's the very best thing you can do. So she laid the babies beside their mother in bed, and she and Poppy went downstairs.
