One of the faithful companions, who had not shrunk from him yet, had just left the London hotel at which Linley had taken rooms for Sydney Westerfield and himself in the name of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert. This old friend had been shocked by the change for the worse which he had perceived in the fugitive master of Mount Morven.
With slow steps Linley crossed the lawn; his mind gloomily absorbed in thoughts which had never before troubled his easy nature thoughts heavily laden with a burden of self-reproach. Arrived at the limits of the lawn, two paths opened before him. One led into a quaintly pretty inclosure, cultivated on the plan of the old gardens at Versailles, and called the French Garden.
He listened to her and talked to her, as if the child had been his client, and fishing from the pier the business which had brought him from London. To Mrs. Mrs. Linley, flattered in her maternal love and her maternal pride, never thought of recalling this extraordinary lawyer to the business that was waiting to be discussed. But Mrs.

"Has that man been here?" she asked. "What man?" "The man who may break off your marriage if he meets with the Captain. Has Herbert Linley been here?" "Certainly not.

Joe broke it after a moment of deep thought. "Like t' know how he seen me," said he. "'Tis cur'us," said another. "Guess he's one o' them preformers like they have at the circus " was the opinion of Sam Beach. "See one take a pig out o' his hat las' summer."

Randal Linley, and that he has left a message for me. I shouldn't otherwise have ventured " Mrs. Presty stopped him once more. The Captain's claim to the Captain's rooms was the principle on which she took her stand. She revived the irresistible smiles which had conquered Mr. Norman and Mr. Presty.
