Advancing to the bed that was hung with heavy curtains, I raised my hand to put them back, when Mr.
If I failed in what I had undertaken, it would not be from lack of opportunity of studying the inmates of this dwelling. "Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven." All's Well that Ends Well. THE next morning's Tribune contained a synopsis of Mr. Leavenworth's will.
"No, sir. She kept a most persistent silence. Neither then nor when, upon the next day, I confronted her with the papers in my hand, and the awful question upon my lips as to whether her flight had been occasioned by the murder which had taken place in Mr. Leavenworth's household, did she do more than acknowledge she had run away on this account.
