Mignon's boasting tones brought fresh resentment to her injured opponents. "I told you that " "Miss La Salle!" Marjorie's stern voice caused the French girl to whirl about.

On asking his host if he knew where the Chieftain was gone, the old man looked fixedly at him, with something mysterious and sad in the smile which was his only reply. Waverley repeated his question, to which his host answered in a proverb, It is unnecessary to trace the progress of our hero's recovery.
