Merrill looked at it with a, flurry of surprise. It read: The Woman's Hour It was certainly affinity that led Miss Lucretia to choose the rosewood sofa of a bygone age, which was covered with horsehair. Miss Lucretia's features seemed to be constructed on a larger and more generous principle than those of women are nowadays. Her face was longer.

The Marquis de Villars had pretended to be in earnest conversation with his neighbor, but he heard every word of this order. "Yes, indeed," thought he. "The countess must be bought, if her price be a million." Lucretia vouchsafed not a glance that could be detected at her pursuers; but she saw every thing, and exulted at her conquest.

So might have looked the beautiful Judith, who slew Holophernes, or Queen Zenobia, or chaste Lucretia of Rome! She was now past twenty and in the bloom of her beauty, but cold as glass; and though she liked him on account of his old friendship for Ulrich and the affair in the forest, he was only permitted to look at, not touch her.

But Lucretia has obtained beforehand all she wishes to save from the rest. An open box is on the floor, into which her hand drops noiselessly a volume in manuscript. On the forefinger of that hand is a ring, larger and more massive than those usually worn by women, by Lucretia never worn before. Why should that ring have been selected with such care from the dead man's hoards?

The forlorn Miss Tox, abandoned by her friend Louisa Chick, and bereft of Mr Dombey's countenance for no delicate pair of wedding cards, united by a silver thread, graced the chimney-glass in Princess's Place, or the harpsichord, or any of those little posts of display which Lucretia reserved for holiday occupation became depressed in her spirits, and suffered much from melancholy.

Come, Lady Lucretia" he turned to his fair friend, as he unbuckled his sword and flung it on the table "it is my place to lead you to your chair. Colonel, you and your friend will find me below stairs in front of the Holbein Gate." "You are forgetting your winnings," remonstrated the lady, pointing to the pile of gold.

Ann was so fair; what lord who might carry her off could she fail to inflame? And then I minded me of what I had read of the Roman Lucretia, and if I had been possessed of any magic art, I would have given the first raven by the way a sharp bodkin that he should carry it to her.

As ill-luck would have it, the young man had then ceased his conversation with the chairman of the quarter sessions, and with arms folded, brow contracted, and looks, earnest, anxious, and intent, was contemplating the whispered conference between Lucretia and Vernon. Sir Miles's eye had followed his secretary's, and his face changed.
