How ken ye?" Noll hardly knew what answer to make to this vehement question, and finally made none at all, but asked, "Are any of your family ill, Dirk?" "Ill? Sick, ye mean? O Lord! yes, yes, and dyin'!" Noll started. Some one ill and dying on this dreary, wretched Rock! and no doctor to give aid.

"I understand not your insolence," said Nigel, "but I forgive it, because you labour under some strange delusion. In so far as I can comprehend your vehement charge, it is entirely undeserved on my part. You seem to impute to me the seduction of your wife I trust she is innocent.
