We thought of the supposed ill-timed jest of the stranger. My lips moved wordlessly. Hattie stammered: "A man he lied though said that Wilkes Booth but he did lie didn't he?" and in the same faint voice Mr. Ellsler answered slowly: "No no! he did not lie it's true!" Down fell our heads, and the waves of shame and sorrow seemed fairly to overwhelm us; and while our sobs filled the little room, Mr.

"You are a strange man, Mr. Smith," said I. "You ought to know that I don't care a fig about seeing Fanny Ellsler. I don't relish such kind of performances.
I observe that the Fanny Ellsler, our passenger and mail boat, has arrived from Portsmouth, and now lies in a little cove, moored to the rocky shore, with a flag flying at her main-mast. We have been watching her for some hours, but she stopped to fish, and then went to some other island, before putting in here. I must go and see what news she has brought.
