He was but a doited snuffy body, Rab, as I've heard but then he was the town-clerk of Fairport, and the Monkbarns heritors aye employed him on account of their connection wi' the burgh, ye ken."
I have a young acquaintance to make known to you, who is touched with some stain of a better spirit than belong to these giddy-paced times, reveres his elders, and has a pretty notion of the classics. And as such a youth must have a natural contempt for the people about Fairport, I wish to show him some rational as well as worshipful society. I am, dear Sir Arthur, etc., etc."
"I'll come, too," said Miss Laura, "for I promised her I'd make the biscuits for tea this evening and let you rest." They both sauntered slowly down the plank walk to the house, and I followed them. IN October, the most beautiful of all the months, we were obliged to go back to Fairport.
"And since that time you have been occupied, I suppose, with plans for Sir Arthur's relief?" "Yes, sir; with the assistance of Captain Wardour at Edinburgh." "And Edie Ochiltree here you see I know the whole story. But how came you by the treasure?" "It was a quantity of plate which had belonged to my uncle, and was left in the custody of a person at Fairport.
Nothing of the sort ever happens to me. I suppose, as Kinney says, it is because he was born and brought up in New York City and looks and acts like a New York man, while I, until a year ago, have always lived at Fairport.

"I find you, sir, in company with my sister," said the young soldier, "and I have a right to know who is admitted into Miss M'Intyre's society."
Billy and I were not any brighter than many a miserable cur that skulked about the streets of Fairport. It was kindness and patience that did it all. When I was with Jenkins he thought I was a very stupid dog. He would have laughed at the idea of any one teaching me anything. But I was only sullen and obstinate, because I was kicked about so much.
Was he descended from King Richard's favourite?" "He had no pretensions," he said, "to call himself a whelp of that litter; his father was a north-of-England gentleman. "Was Mr. Lovel's excursion solely for pleasure?" "Not entirely." "Perhaps on business with some of the commercial people of Fairport?" "It was partly on business, but had no reference to commerce." Here he paused; and Mr.
It did not matter so much for me, for I had escaped him, but now that it had been found out what a cruel man he was, there would be a restraint upon him, and poor Toby and the cows would have a happier time. I was going to tell about the Morris family. There were Mr. Morris, who was a clergyman and preached in a church in Fairport; Mrs.
"Dear uncle, don't be angry about the poor spaniel; she's been tied up at my brother's lodgings at Fairport, and she's broke her chain twice, and came running down here to him; and you would not have us beat the faithful beast away from the door? it moans as if it had some sense of poor Hector's misfortune, and will hardly stir from the door of his room."
