I must suppose my dear Belle that this is the Case, since I am not conscious of being more sincerely attached to Willoughby than I was to Neville, Fitzowen, or either of the Crawfords, for all of whom I once felt the most lasting affection that ever warmed a Woman's heart.

Bessie only answered by a quiet caress or two, and after a few moments Edna recovered herself. "I was unreasonably angry with Neville that day, but I never guessed that my passion would overmaster me to that extent. Oh, Bessie! why, why was I never taught to control my temper? Why was my mother so cruelly kind to me? If I had been brought up differently but no, I will only reproach myself.

"Master Percy Neville Neville, indeed, Percy!" she exclaimed; "yes, yes oh, yes the dear boy! Those other geese were after me yes, geese, indeed, chasing me down the sidewalk yes, sidewalk, geese they were geese and he came, the dear boy came and shoo-ed them away shoo-ed them, yes, shoo-ed, indeed, shoo-ed."

So he would let her dwell instead on the early days of her married life, or on the children's childhood, or on her love for Neville and Jim, or on her impatience with her mother. They were happy little times, stimulating, cosy little times. They spoke straight to the heart, easing it of its weight of tragedy. A splendid man, Mr. Cradock, with his shrewd, penetrating sympathy, his kind firmness.

It is not likely that they ever met, though so often, without a sensation on the part of each that the other was a perplexing secret to him. Jasper as the denouncer and pursuer of Neville Landless, and Mr.

Youth is the time to read for examinations; youth is used to such foolishness, and takes it lightly in its stride.

"From England our own England!" repeated Richard, in a tone of melancholy enthusiasm. "Alas! they little think how hard their Sovereign has been beset by sickness and sorrow faint friends and forward enemies." Then opening the dispatches, he said hastily, "Ha! this comes from no peaceful land they too have their feuds. Neville, begone; I must peruse these tidings alone, and at leisure."

Again, we have learned that in childhood she had dressed as a boy when she ran away from home; and she had the motives of protecting Rosa and her brother, Neville, from the machinations of Jasper, who needs watching, as he is trying to ruin Neville's already dilapidated character, and, by spying on him, to break down his nerve. Really, of course, Neville is quite safe.

Mr. Jasper quickly looks to his nephew for his rejoinder. 'Have YOU known hardships, may I ask? says Edwin Drood, sitting upright. Mr. Jasper quickly looks to the other for his retort. 'I have. 'And what have they made you sensible of? Mr.

Even Hugh's house-master, a conscientious, devoted man, who, in the time of expansion, was taken into the circle of his sincere friendships even he never said a serious word to the boy, except with a constrained and official air as though he heartily disliked the subject.
