He could not but be kind and sympathetic as to her difficulties.
"Whurrah! my boys!" he cried, "Shure we'll all be jintlemen!" "Pull away, my lads!" said the captain. Then turning to me, "Well, Mrs. Moodie, I hope that you have had enough of Grosse Isle. But could you have witnessed the scenes that I did this morning "

"Another wager-bet!" cried Grosse, still standing behind her, and calling to me. "Twenty thousand pounds this time to a fourpennies-bit. She has shut her eyes to get to you. Hey!"
As Edmund Grosse was shown up-stairs to Lady Rose Bright, he passed a young clergyman coming down. He found Rose standing with a worried look in the middle of the room. "Edmund! how nice," she said gently. "What has that fellow been worrying you about?" "It isn't his fault, poor man," said Rose, "only it's so sad. He has had at last to close his little orphanage.
