The old lady muttered an inaudible apology; and the two friends hastened to take their departure. Next morning, Mr. Wesley Tiffles, after an inexpensive breakfast at a cheap restaurant in Chatham street, set out on his mission of goodness. He was reduced to his last dollar, but felt opulent in the possession of his diamond breastpin that tower of moral strength to the borrower.

When she was informed at her return home that the doctor had been to wait upon her, and had expressed some anger at her being gone out, she became greatly uneasy, and begged of her husband to go to the doctor's lodgings and make her apology. But lest the reader should be as angry with the doctor as he had declared himself with Amelia, we think proper to explain the matter.

"So far as I can make out in this light, gentlemen, you are all drunk. You have made one of those foolish and disgusting mistakes to which men in liquor are liable: but I should suppose you can muster up sense enough between you to see that this man owes an apology." "What if I refuse?"

"For this act, De Graeff was subsequently recalled to Holland, but he was reinstated as Governor of Statia, and held that position when the island was taken by Rodney in 1781. The Dutch made no apology to England." Saba, which lies close to Statia, depends for its interest on its location.

I stammered out an apology for my intrusion, but told him how irresistible were such subtile threads as Schumann's "Carnival" had projected through the walls which separated our rooms. "Florestan," I said, "was too much for me."

Seriously, Allan Dunlop added, and he had no apology to make for indulging in levity in discussing this frivolous matter it was beneath the dignity of the House to occupy itself with the further consideration of the charges against the honourable member for Middlesex.
