In half an hour more, another horse was harnessed, and Mirabel was on his way to the railway station at Belford, to follow Mrs. Rook at Emily's urgent request. Before his departure, he had an interview with his sister. Mrs. Delvin was rich enough to believe implicitly in the power of money.
"Sit right here by the window, where I can have a good light." Mr. Belford, a physical coward, could not bear pain; and though he was unwilling to be under obligations to one whom he considered a mere boy, he sat down in the proffered chair, and opened his mouth dutifully. "Ah, yes dentes sapentia. It's quite gone. Shall I take it out for you?" "Will it be painful?" "No.
Belford entered, panama hat with two ribbons in hand. "Good afternoon, Mr. Franklin. I thought I might find you here.". "Yes, I'm at leisure. What can I do for you? Smoke?" "No; I can't to-day. The fact is, I've a bad tooth, and smoking troubles it." "Indeed? Let me see it. I'm a bit of a dentist." "Are you? That's fortunate, for it aches sadly, and our nearest dentist is five miles away."
In all probability, Mirabel's object in writing was to instruct his sister to prevent her guest from going to Belford. The carriage was waiting at the door.

Our horses were mere skeletons, added to which, Belford became totally deaf, and so emaciated as to be unable to walk. My situation was now such as to create the most gloomy apprehensions.
Now it might express itself in chuckles of the most delicious entertainment, vented as our Captain walked up and down the hall of his great house, smoking his pipe and cracking the knuckles of his fingers; at other times he would burst forth into incontrollable fits of laughter at the extravagant deceit which he believed himself to be imposing upon his brother, Colonel Belford.
With an incredible spite and vindictiveness he not only pursued my honored father-in-law, Colonel Belford, but has sought to wreak an unwarranted revenge upon the innocent and virtuous young lady whom I have now the honor to call my wife. But how has he overreached himself in his machinations! How has he entangled his feet in the net which he himself has spread!
Besides, she's really a niceish sort of a body enough, a tidyish little soul in her way, and you're a gay widower so who knows?" And home went Dick, chuckling all the way, partly at his own good management, partly at the new idea which his quick fancy had started. About a fortnight after, I had occasion to drive into Belford, attended as usual by master Richard. The bells of St.
