Moulder was discussing with the waiter the all-important subject of dinner. "At the commercial table sir?" the waiter had asked, doubtingly. Mr. Dockwrath had answered boldly in the affirmative, whereat Mr. Moulder had growled; but Mr. Kantwise had expressed satisfaction. "We shall be extremely happy to enjoy your company," Mr.
Dockwrath, however, was not to be frightened, so he drew his chair a thought nearer to the fire, took a sup of brandy and water, and prepared himself for war if war should be necessary. "Cold evening, sir, for the time of year," said Mr. Moulder, walking up to the fireplace, and rolling the lumps of his forehead about in his attempt at a frown. In spite of his terrible burden of flesh, Mr.
Pretty, quiet D , with thy venerable church, in which moulder the mortal remains of England's sweetest and most pious bard. Yes, pretty D , I could always love thee, were it but for the sake of him who sleeps beneath the marble slab in yonder quiet chancel.

"Mrs. Smiley!" he said; "I remember when she was kitchen-maid at old Pott's." "She ain't nobody's kitchen-maid now," said Mrs. Moulder, almost prepared to be angry in the defence of her friend.
Those high and mighty barons, those great dukes and princes, would be as if they had never been they and everything that related to them far and near.

Of all that greatness one monument alone remains the chronicles, the songs of bards and minnesingers. Parchment alone remains!"
It is seldom that a young man may die from a broken heart; but if an old man have a heart still left to him, it is more fragile. On the evening but one after the trial was over Mr. Moulder entertained a few friends to supper at his apartments in Great St. Helen's, and it was generally understood that in doing so he intended to celebrate the triumph of Lady Mason.
