Good old fellow, he strikes me a good deal more than all Ogilvie's discussions." "Mr. Ogilvie has talked to you?" "He has done his part both as cleric and your devoted servant, mother, and, I confess, made the best of his case, as an able man heartily convinced can do. Good night, mother." "One moment, Bobus, my dear; I want one promise from you, to your old Mother Carey.
