He drowsed through the day, disturbed by occasional howls from the quadrangle, where the men were snowballing a little, and, later, by the scraping shovels of the navvies who had been sent in to remove the snow, and with it the efficient cause of nocturnal disorders in St. Gatien's.

He had now the gravest reason for anxiety about the girl, of whom he was the only friend and protector, and who was, undeniably, the victim of some plot or conspiracy. Nothing more practical than seeking the advice of Bielby of St. Gatien's occurred to his perplexed imagination. Gatien's.

The Hit or Miss was not more antique in its aspect than modern in its fortunes. Few public-houses, if any, boasted for their landlord such a person as Robert Maitland, M.A., Fellow of St. Gatien's, in the University of Oxford. It is, perhaps, desirable and even necessary to explain how this arrangement came into existence.

The woman has evidently dried up her mother like a partridge left to roast at too fierce a fire." Gatien de Boirouge contrived to let Madame de la Baudraye know what the journalist had said of her in the course of the dinner, which was copious, not to say splendid, and the lady took care not to talk too much while it was proceeding. This lack of conversation betrayed Gatien's indiscretion.

"Oh, monsieur!" she exclaimed in dignified reproof. "You defied me," said the Parisian. But Gatien now rode up with the vehemence of a duped lover. To regain a little of Madame de la Baudraye's esteem, Lousteau did his best to hide the tumbled dress from Gatien's eyes by leaning out of the chaise to speak to him from Dinah's side.

"Your name?" asked the Juge d'Instruction. "Maitland," replied the Fellow of St. Gatien's. "You lie!" said the Juge d'Instruction. "You entered the name of Buchanan in the book of the hotel." "My name is on my cards, and on that letter," said Maitland, keeping his temper wonderfully. The documents in question lay on a table, as pièces justificatives. Where is his body?"

Perhaps the civilized custom which permits women to dine in the presence of the greedier sex is the proudest conquest of Culture. "Hang it all, will the fellows never go?" So thought Maitland, of St. Gatien's, the founder of the feast.

Imagine their astonishment and Gatien's delight when all four, candle in hand, and with hardly any clothes on, came to look at the hairs, and found them in perfect preservation on both doors. "Is it the same wax?" asked Monsieur Gravier. "Are they the same hairs?" asked Lousteau. "Yes," replied Gatien. "This quite alters the matter!" cried Lousteau.

He recounted little philanthropic misadventures of his own cases in which he had been humorously misled by the Captain Wraggs of this world, or beguiled by the authors of that polite correspondence begging letters. St. Gatien's. "And when are we likely to meet again?" he asked. "I really don't know," said Maitland.
