However; perhaps we'd better look." "Reminiscences of former flirtations," said Calton, with a laugh, pointing to these. "I should not wonder," retorted Miss Frettlby, coolly. "Brian always was in love with some one or other; but you know what Lytton says, 'There are many counterfeits, but only one Eros, so I can afford to forget these things."
Of all the countless numbers that take their pleasure walks upon the Calton Hill of Edinburgh, none that do not remember it an isolated spot, of awkward access, can have any recollection of Sergeant Square's tall and gaunt figure, his cue, cocked hat, gaiters, and military appearance, as he took his daily promenade around the airy and delightful walks, or sat upon its highest point, where Nelson's Monument now stands, in stately solitude, as if he had been the genius of the hill, resting his square and bony chin on the top of his gold-headed cane, with his immense hands serving as a cushion between.
"He came down the room, and spread out a paper on the table where the lamp was. Miss Madge bent forward to see what it was. I tried to stop her, but it was too late. She gave a scream, and fell on the floor. In doing so she happened to touch her father. He awoke, and fell down dead." "And the papers?" asked Calton, uneasily.
'A curious answer from a curious woman, thought Calton, glancing at her as she sat at the writing-table in her black dress with the knots of violet ribbons upon it; 'what queer creatures experience makes us.
'If Sydney Smith was alive, said Calton, in reference to this, 'he would be astonished at the number of stories he did not tell. 'Yes, chimed in Vandeloup, gaily, 'and astounded at their brilliancy.

Calton turned, and looked at the girl in some surprise.
Madame did so, and they all went to dinner, Madame with Calton and Kitty following with Vandeloup. 'This, observed Calton, when they were all seated at the dinner table, 'is the perfection of dining; for we are four, and the guests, according to an epicure, should never be less than the Graces nor greater than the Muses. And a very merry little dinner it was.

All I want to prove is that he was not in the hansom cab with Whyte." "And do you think you can do that?" "Depends upon this letter," said Calton, tapping his pocket-book with his finger. "I'll tell you to-morrow."
She was anxious to hear from Sal Rawlins' own lips the joyful words which would save Brian from a felon's death. "No, my dear," answered Calton, firmly, but kindly. "I can hardly take a lady to the place where Sal Rawlins lives. You will know all to-morrow, but, meanwhile, you must go home and get some sleep." "And you will tell him?" she whispered, clasping her hands on Calton's arm.
The Complete Suffrage Association of Edinburgh, to the number of five hundred, walked in procession to Calton Hill, and in the open air proclaimed unmolested the very principles for which the martyrs of the past century had suffered.
