Captain Moreland was very unwilling to go to the S.W., the more so as coal was getting short. However, he had not the heart to refuse General Rolleston anything. There was a northerly breeze.

You will find the master of Crown Anstey a powerful personage." "There is another thing," I said, with a crimson flush burning my face; "I have but five shillings and sixpence in all the world." He laughed aloud at this. "I can advance you whatever you like, then five hundred pounds or more." The very mention of such a sum positively frightened me. Mr. Moreland looked very much amused.
"If you remember, the second man had his coat buttoned up. Moreland wore dark trousers at least, I suppose so and, with the coat buttoned up, it was easy for the cabman to make the mistake, believing, as he did, that it was Mr. Fitzgerald." "That sounds better," said Calton, thoughtfully. "And what are you going to do?" "Look for the coat in the Fitzroy Gardens." "Pshaw! a wild goose chase."
"I detest long courtships; they must be perfect antidotes to love; are they not, Mr. Moreland?" A truant glance of Mr. Moreland's eye was rebuked by this appeal, and instead of looking for a place of refuge, he now merely looked sheepish. He, however, entirely agreed with the young lady, as the surer way of getting out of the difficulty. "Pray, Mr.

"I wonder what he'll do," said Chinston.
"Henry Thorne," said his friend, William Moreland, with an air more serious than that at first assumed, "let me in turn urge you to stay." "It is in vain, William," his friend said, interrupting him. "I trust not, Henry. Surely, my early friend and companion is not deaf to reason." "No, not to right reason." "Well, listen to me.
Sally saw he was in earnest, and at last yielded the point, telling Mary in confidence that "she never saw any one in her life she feared as she did Esquire Moreland when he set his foot down!" And George did seem to have a wonderful influence over her, for a single look from him would quiet her when in her wildest moods. In spite of the desire she once expressed of finding her sister, Mrs.
Let us advance the characters we have introduced, a year in their life's pilgrimage, and see if there are any fruits of these good resolutions. "Where is Thorne, this morning?" asked the owner of the shop, speaking to Moreland, one morning, an hour after all the workmen had come in. "I do not know, really," replied Moreland. "I saw him yesterday, when he was well."
For by this time he was the center of a throng, all pushing and driving to catch his words. Captain Moreland begged him to step down into his cabin, and there the general thanked him with great warmth and agitation for his humanity. "We will follow your advice at once," he said. "Is there anything I can offer you, without offense?" "Wal," drawled the Yankee, "I guess not.
They all came to the conclusion that as Moreland was now dead, nothing could be gained by publishing the confession of Mark Frettlby, so agreed to burn it, and when Fitzgerald saw in the heap of blackened paper in the fireplace all that remained of the bitter story, he felt a weight lifted off his heart.
