"As you have given some proof, my dear boy, and I thank you for it. But the Annalys would go more cautiously to work I only put you on your guard Marcus and Sir Herbert never could hit it off together; and I am afraid the breach between us and the Annalys must he widened, for Marcus must stand against Sir Herbert at the next election, if he live Pray how is he?"

Ormond and the Annalys turned, and saw behind them Mrs. M'Crule. "Murder!" whispered Sheelah to Moriarty, "if she fixes him with that evil eye, and he gets the stroke of it, Moriarty, 'tis all over with him for life." "Tut, woman, dear what can hurt him? is not the good doctor in person standing betwixt him and harm? and see! he is recovering upon it fast quite come to!

"Then, to return to the Annalys," said Ormond, "I never saw Sir Herbert till now I like him I like his principles his love of his country and his attachment to his family." "He's a very fine fellow no better fellow than Herbert Annaly. But as for his attachment to his family, who thanks him for that? Who could help it, with such a family? And his love for his country every body loves his country."

Now, all for pleasure! next week I hope to be down enjoying my liberty at Castle Hermitage, where I shall be heartily glad to have my dear Harry again. Marcus in England still the poor Annalys in great distress about the son, with whom, I fear, it is all over. No time for more. Measure my affection by the length of this, the longest epistle extant in my hand-writing. "My dear boy, yours ever,

In the heat of attack, and in her eagerness to carry her point against the Annalys, the young lady, according to custom, proceeded from sarcasm to scandal. Every ill-natured report she had ever heard against any of the family, she now repeated with exaggeration and asseverations vehement in proportion to the weakness of proof.

He took care that Ormond should do nothing in a hurry now; for he put on his spectacles, and read the power, sparing him not a syllable of the law forms and repetitions. Ormond wrote a few kind lines to Sir Ulick, and earnestly besought him to find out something more about the Annalys. If Miss Annaly were married, it must have appeared in the papers. What delayed the marriage?

Montigny, a niece of the Abbe Morellet. She and her excellent mother lived with him; and Ormond was most agreeably surprised and touched at the unexpected sight of an amiable, united, happy family, when he had expected only a meeting of literati. The sight of this domestic happiness reminded him of the Annalys brought the image of Florence to his mind.

She knew that Sir Ulick would be much vexed by their want of punctuality on this occasion, where the Annalys were concerned, though, in general, punctuality was a virtue for which he had no regard. Sir Ulick had finished his cup of coffee. "Miss Black, send away the tea-things send away all these things," cried he.

At all events, he determined that, instead of returning to France, as he had intended, he would go immediately to Ireland, and try if it were possible to assist Sir Ulick, without materially injuring himself. Having ordered horses, he made inquiry wherever he thought he might obtain information with respect to the Annalys.

Sir Ulick was very much disappointed at perceiving that Ormond had no mind to go to Paris; but dropping the subject, he turned the conversation upon the Annalys: he praised Florence to the skies, hoped that Ormond would be more fortunate than Marcus had been, for somehow or other, he should never live or die in peace till Florence Annaly was more nearly connected with him.
