Humphrey has charge of it until it is ascertained to whom it is to belong." "It belongs to Mr. Heatherstone, does it not?" replied Edward. "How can you say so, Edward! You received Humphrey's letters a long while ago." "Yes, I did; but let us not talk about it any more, my dear Edith. I am in great perplexity."
"I feel certain of it, Oswald; and that is the reason why I want to be where I can know all that is going on." "Well, sir, it is my opinion that the king will come over, as well as yours; yet I think at present he stands but a poor chance; Master Heatherstone knows more on that score than any one, I should think; but he is very close."
I think you had better run up to the house, little one, for it's getting near tiffin-time. No don't you go Mr. West. I want to have a word with you."

"Good Heaven!

"If you can manage to slip down to Branksome at times," I said, "perhaps you could bring Miss Heatherstone with you. I know that my father and my sister would be delighted to see her, and a change, if only for an hour or two, might do her good."

With the first he had now become on the most intimate and brotherly footing; and when they addressed each other, Patience and Edward were the only appellations made use of. Once Mr.

I thought that I had more control over myself; but I have seen her, and feel that my future happiness depends upon obtaining her as a wife.
My father had come down one morning with the weight of a great determination upon his brow. "You must put on your pink frock to-day, Esther," said he, "and you, John, you must make yourself smart, for I have determined that the three of us shall drive round this afternoon and pay our respects to Mrs. Heatherstone and the general." "A visit to Cloomber," cried Esther, clapping her hands.
