This he considered as a mere sop in the pan to stay the appetite of Edward's curiosity until he should find an opportunity of sending down the volume itself, which was much too heavy for the post, and which he proposed to accompany with certain interesting pamphlets, lately published by his friend in Little Britain, with whom he had kept up a sort of literary correspondence, in virtue of which the library shelves of Waverley-Honour were loaded with much trash, and a good round bill, seldom summed in fewer than three figures, was yearly transmitted, in which Sir Everard Waverley of Waverley-Honour, Bart., was marked Dr. to Jonathan Grubbet, bookseller and stationer, Little Britain.
He stopped his motor-bicycle and got off to speak to them. They knew him well, for he often came to the house to conduct their grandfather's business, and he was indeed quite a favorite with them all. He looked at Everard keenly when the first greetings were over. "Been getting yourself into considerable hot water just lately, haven't you?" he remarked.
"Do you imagine, Sir Everard Valletort, the aim of your rifle was true that you hit him?" This question was asked so hurriedly, and in a tone so different from that in which he had hitherto spoken, that the officers around simultaneously raised their eyes to those of their colonel with an expression of undissembled surprise.
Helen Everard is only a friend of a few short weeks. I felt that I could not go to her, I felt somehow that she would never understand. And then then at last, because, I suppose, I am a woman and therefore a coward, and because I was so alone so helpless I sent the money." "Oh, that I " "Remember," she said, "remember I had written to you, asking your help.
Heathfield, if you get the consumption through your nonsense, dear me, and you were looking so well." "But Norris, if I change these wet things surely that will do." "You just get to bed, I say, for you are in my charge." Everard laughed. "Now Mr. Everard don't you be a interfering." "Oh, certainly not." "Now come along at once Miss Leicester, and I will get you some hot gruel."
"Then you do not withhold your sympathy, even from me," he returned, offering his hand. "How can I," she replied, taking, though reluctantly, the offered hand. "I am very sorry for you." "Good news, Isabel, good news!" cried Alice coming in shortly after with an open letter in her hand. "Everard is out of danger, and is recovering rapidly, so we can soon come home, Mamma says."
"He made for parts unknown immediately after he fired," replied Everard, sternly, while the heavy breathing showed how much it cost him to speak calmly. "It is quite a Providence that one of us is not dead at this moment, as he is a splendid marksman.

'Mention him to her before me. 'That's exactly what I was going to tell you to do before me, said her husband, smiling. 'Because, Everard, is it not so? widows . . . and she loves this gentleman!
"I think I will go to Ashton Park" said Everard. "Do you think that it will do any good" asked Emily. "I hope so, Grace is not bad hearted, only vexed, besides, I should wish to leave on good terms with the old lady." "I have no doubt that she pities you immensely." Everard laughed "I will go now" he said, "and we hope you may be successful" returned both warmly.
"Oh she don't care about it." "You are mistaken Emily." "Oh, but it is such fun, I do so like to make her color up, she looks so pretty." "But when you see that it really annoys ." "When I get into the spirit of the thing, I can't stop." interrupted Emily. "I know it," replied Everard gently, "and that is the reason that I mention it, otherwise the matter is too trivial to comment upon."
