"Perhaps you are already in love with some one else perhaps you imagine that you may win young Palmer, upon whom you so indelicately forced your society at Hazeldean," she snapped.
Frank opens the note, and reads, half aloud, "Dear Hazeldean " He always Spendquicks me when he lends me money; and 't is 'My dear Lord' when he wants it back. Capital sign!" Frank reads on, but to himself, and with a changing countenance,
Dale, catching him by the arm, and panting hard, exclaimed with a petulance he had never before been known to display, except at the whisttable, "Mr. Hazeldean, Mr. Hazeldean, I am scandalized, I am shocked at you.
The stocks shall be mended to-morrow, ay, and the pound too, and the next donkey found trespassing shall go into it, as sure as my name's Hazeldean." "Then," said the parson, gravely, "I can only hope that the next parish may not follow your example; or that you and I may never be caught straying."
And kindly, then, I am sure," said Frank Hazeldean, his honest handsome face lighted up with the unsuspecting genial trust of friendship; "and Heaven knows," he added, with a sadder voice, and a graver expression on his eye and lip, "Heaven knows I want all the kindness you can give me!"

All he wants to save him from perdition is, to do what he has never yet done, namely, pause and think.
