Great doings there: son comes of age at Easter. Wonder what sort of fellow he is? Anybody know anything about him? 'I wonder what his father's rent-roll is? said Mr. Ormsby.

"It is always so with these great heiresses," said his companion. "They never marry. They cannot bear the thought of sharing their money. I bet Lady Joan will turn out another specimen of the TABITHA CROESUS." "Well, put down our pair, Egerton," said Lord Fitz-Heron. "You do not dine at Sidonia's by any chance?" "Would that I did! You will have the best dishes and the best guests.
"Ah! my dear Ormsby," said Mr Berners, "do not mention Watier's; you make my mouth water." "Shall you stand for Birmingham, Ormsby, if there be a dissolution?" said Lord Fitz-Heron. "I have been asked," said Mr Ormsby; "but the House of Commons is not the House of Commons of my time, and I have no wish to re-enter it.

The acquaintance, however, has been of use to me, for I think I have got a yacht by it. I believe it was providential, and a trial. I will go home and write instantly to Fitz-Heron, and accept his offer.
Ormsby, shaking his head; 'you should think of higher things. 'I wonder what young Montacute will be thinking of this time next year, said Lord Fitz-Heron. 'There will be plenty of people thinking of him, said Mr. Cassilis. 'Egad! you gentlemen must stir yourselves, if you mean to be turned off. You will have rivals.
'It will be a good thing to go, he said, 'because I want to know Lord Fitz-Heron; he will be of great use to me about my yacht. So he ordered his carriage at three o'clock. The reader must not for a moment suppose that Mrs.
