'You are Mr. Armadale's lawyer, says he; 'if you come on any business relating to Mr.
"I see nothing about languishing in prison, and cropping a fellow's hair close to his head, unless it's in the hieroglyphics. Is '4 Geo. "Pray be serious," remonstrated Neelie. "We are both sitting on a volcano. There," she said pointing to the place. "Read it! If anything can bring you to a proper sense of our situation, that will."
Good-by," concluded Neelie, rising mournfully, with the tears in her eyes. "It's only prolonging our misery to stop here, unless unless you have anything to propose?" "I've got something to propose," cried the headlong Allan. "It's an entirely new idea. Would you mind trying the blacksmith at Gretna Green?"
"But I feel as if there were going to be something that something was going to come between us;" and Cornelia began to droop like a flower under an icy wind. "You never could hate me, could you, Sophie?" "Hate you! Neelie! What makes you speak so, dear? I have no misgivings." "Oh! I don't know I don't know! it must be because I'm wicked!"
