But when he recalled its history how, attended with all the pomp of a grand civic display, it had been founded by the Prince of Orange as a tribute to the citizens for the bravery displayed during the siege; when he remembered the great men in religion, learning, and science who had once studied there and thought of the hundreds of students now sharing the benefits of its classes and its valuable scientific museums he was quite willing to forego architectural beauty, though he could not help feeling that no amount of it could have been misplaced on such an institution.
"Perhaps it is because my father places more confidence in me than in her." "And his confidence is surely not misplaced," he said. "I tell you frankly that I don't like Lady Heyburn."

But then he was their only boy, and if their confidence should perchance be found to have been misplaced, how could the damage be repaired? Ah! well, they could, after all, only do their best, and leave the issue with God. They could not always be Bert's shields. He must learn to fight his own battles, and it was as well for him to begin now, and at Dr. Johnston's school.
With a bullet in his brain, the mysterious maid would become my property." Here an icy chill shook Vavel's frame. He read on: "That was my intention.
