"I can't bear to think of your going to your father again, Mary," sighed the rector, bitterly. "Dick has been a shocking muddler in his affairs as bad as his father, without his father's excuse. God knows, I've been too busy with parish affairs to attend properly to my own, whereas he "
But, my dear nephew, I have no claim on you; you have no call to support me. 'That's all right, said Michael; 'I'll probably get it out of the leather business. And having taken down the old gentleman's address, Michael left him at the corner of a street. 'What a wonderful old muddler! he reflected, 'and what a singular thing is life! I seem to be condemned to be the instrument of Providence.
Of course I saw he meant Stevens, who had made a monument to Wellington in St. Paul's. I cross-questioned him and found I was right. Suppose that in some ancient writer I had come upon a similar error about which I felt no less certain than I did here, ought I to be debarred from my conclusion merely by the accident that I have not the wretched muddler at my elbow and cannot ask him personally?
As Aunt Madge says, it takes all our strength and cleverness to manage our own. 'A meddler is always a muddler; how well I remember her saying that.

It will be all in his interests really, because he can get tips from the Gem. I've warned him off it lately because I thought you were such an awful muddler, Hilary.
I like you very well, though you are slow and a muddler; but I want you to understand, once and for all, that I did not come to the Solomons to get married. That is an affliction I could have accumulated at home, without sailing ten thousand miles after it. I have my own way to make in the world, and I came to the Solomons to do it. Getting married is not making my way in the world.
But one would hardly hesitate to head the list with the name of Paymaster, a dog of rare and almost superlative quality and true Irish Terrier character. Paymaster is the property of Miss Lilian Paull, of Weston-super-Mare, who bred him from her beautiful bitch Erasmic, from Breda Muddler, the sire of many of the best. Side by side with Paymaster, Mr.
