The University Galleries, which present an imposing front to St. Giles- street, contain, beside antique sculpture, the original models of all Chantrey's busts, and a collection of original drawings of Michael Angelo and Raffaelle, made by Sir Thomas Lawrence, and purchased after his death by the University, the present Earl of Eldon contributing two-thirds of the purchase-money.
Hubert threw off his hat, gloves, and overcoat; then for the first time spoke to the servant, who stood in an attitude of expectancy. 'Mrs. Eldon is at home? 'At home, sir, but very unwell. She desires me to say that she fears she may not be able to see you this evening. 'Is there a fire anywhere? 'Only in the library, sir. 'I will dine there. And let a fire be lit in my bedroom.

If it had been possible to draw back her foot and escape unnoticed!
Langmaid looked down at the tip of his cigar. "Mr. Hodder," said Eldon Parr, "is to be congratulated." Hodder, when the service was over, had sought the familiar recess in the robing-room, the words which he himself had spoken still ringing in his ears.
