EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Aug. 22, 1809. I have just been reading Carleton's Memoirs, and am in love with the captain and with his general, Lord Peterborough; and I have also been reading one of the worst-written books in the language, but it has both instructed and entertained me Sir John Hawkins's Life of Johnson.
Forty thick manuscript volumes still show Maurice Morgan's assiduous work as Carleton's confidential secretary. But Morris had the more heart-breaking duty of the three, with no relief, day after sorrow-laden day, from the anguishing appeals of Loyalist widows, orphans, and other ruined refugees.
"If she were only a few years older, it is my belief you would see enough of her, Ma'am," said young Rossitur. The haughty coldness of Mr. Carleton's look, at this speech, could not be surpassed. "But she has beauty of feature, too, has she not?" Mrs. Carleton asked again of her son. "Yes, in very high degree. The contour of the eye and brow I never saw finer." "It is a little odd," said Mrs.
Carleton's sharper eyes, however, saw that one or two tears were glimmering just under the eyelash. He bent down over her and whispered, "I know what you are thinking of Fleda, do I not?" "I was thinking of aunt Miriam," Fleda said in an answering whisper, without opening her eyes. "I will take care of that." Fleda looked up and smiled most expressively her thanks, and in five minutes was asleep.

The detachment beyond the Hudson, diminishing daily by the same cause, gradually worked its way to him; its commander luckily being captured on the road. At the time it joined, a few battalions also arrived from Ticonderoga, released by Carleton's retirement to the foot of Champlain. Washington's force on the west bank of the Delaware was thus increased to six thousand men.
"Well, you can?" "I have two honourable meetings of the proscribed kind now on hand, to which I stand pledged." Fleda hid her face in an agony. Mrs. Carleton's agony was in every line of hers as she grasped her son's wrist, exclaiming, "Guy, promise me!" She had words for nothing else. He hesitated still a moment, and then meeting his mother's look, he said gravely and steadily
A man of honour has the right to expect the protection of his Colonel and of the Commander of the troops, and he can't serve without it. If I was in Carleton's place I wouldn't stay an hour in the Army after being aimed at and distinguished in so remarkable a manner. But Carleton bided his time. At the beginning of 1759 Wolfe was appointed to command the army destined to besiege Quebec.
She did not speak a word; she stood still a moment trying for words, and then put her hand upon Mr. Carleton's arm and gently drew him out of the room with her. The family were all gathered in the room to which she brought him. Mr. Rossitur, as soon as he saw Mr. Carleton come in, shrunk back where he could be a little shielded by the bed-post. Marion's face was hid on the foot of the bed. Mrs.
"As when taking leave of you on board the 'Campania, so now, permit me to assure you that if I can ever serve you as a friend, you have but to command me. "Most sincerely yours, "C. D. MERRICK." A smile of amusement lighted Harold Mainwaring's face as, glancing up from the note, his eyes met those of Miss Carleton's with their expression of perplexed inquiry.
