Alfred Hardie kept faith with Mrs.
"I am not quite easy in my mind. I saw you come out of Hardie's. I thought in course you had been in to draa: but you says different. Now what was it you did leave behind you at that there shop, if you please: not money?" "Not money? Only L. 14,000. How the man stares!

James Maxley kept Mr. Hardie's little pleasaunce trim as trim could be, by yearly contract.

"'Oh, yes. No. He is so rude." "Is he? Ah! he was ill just then, and pain irritates gentlemen; they are not accustomed to it, poor Things." "That is like you, dear mamma; making excuses for one."
Hardie's was down on him, and reported that he carried a large pocket-book in his breast-pocket by day; and she had found the dent of it under his pillow at night a stroke of observation very creditable in an unprofessional female: on this he had made it his business to meet Mr. Hardie in broad day, and sure enough the pocket-book was always there.
