To me it would have seemed impossible that my cousin could have been so little curious to hear any of our joint family affairs; been so unheedful, or even weary, if I spoke of Roland, never, by a word or tone, have betrayed a sympathy with his kindred. And my other conjecture was so probable, son of the Colonel Vivian whose name he bore.
