I have seen a picture of her at fifty, and she was still 'fair and comely and buxom' as when she dazzled the old chaplain's eyes and broke Sir Montague's heart.

Scarcely had Mrs. Montague's carriage got out of hearing when a note was brought, directed to "Frederick Montague, Junior, Esq.," which he immediately opened, and read as follows: "Mrs. Theresa Tattle presents her very best compliments to the entertaining Mr.
Twisting Ryder around his finger, crushing him and why? And why? Montague's thoughts stopped still. It was as if he had found himself suddenly confronted by a bottomless abyss.

Who was the girl?" exclaimed Ray, astonished and utterly unsuspicious of the blow awaiting his fond heart. "Mrs. Montague's seamstress Ruth Richards."
