"Since you both so earnestly desire it I will meet Lord Upperton to-morrow evening and hear what he has to say," she replied. "You could hardly do otherwise. I think the more you see of him the better you will like him," said Mr. Newville. "Of course you will, my child; and now, dear, think it over in your chamber. I am sure you will see that a great opportunity has come to you," said Mrs.
"What can we do to round out the day for you, dear?" It was Miss Newville addressing Berinthia. "I don't know; what can we?" was the reply. "How would you like a sleigh-ride?" Robert asked. "Delightful!" exclaimed Miss Newville. "Jenny and the colt are rested, and if you don't mind riding in a pung, I shall be pleased to take a little spin out of town." "Oh, it will be so charming!
The words of Ruth brought the question before him in a startling way. "Those are my sentiments, also," said Berinthia. "I see, Miss Brandon, that you are of the same opinion, which, of course, I expected in your case, but hardly from Miss Newville," said Captain Coffin. "Yes, I am of the same way of thinking," Berinthia replied.
"They are beaten, and he is shot!" she cried, sinking into Berinthia's arms. "Who's shot?" her mother asked. There was no answer from the quivering lips. "The excitement is too much for her," said Mrs. Newville, as they bore her to Berinthia's chamber.
Do you remember a day, six years ago, one September afternoon, when I came into the house greatly agitated? and when you asked, as you have now, what had happened, I would not make reply?" "Yes, Ruth, and you have been a mystery to me ever since that afternoon," said Mrs. Newville.

Having settled this matter, we returned again to the discussion of the incidents surrounding the robbery, and what would probably be the next movements of those fighting against me.
We doubtless shall see it from different political standpoints; you are truly loyal to the king; my sympathies, as you know, are with the provincials, but that shall not diminish our personal friendship or my hospitality," Captain Brandon replied, escorting Mr. and Mrs. Newville and Miss Newville to the top of the house and providing them seats.

He bowed again, very politely, and expressed his pleasure at making her acquaintance. Pompey, bowing low, informed Mr. Newville that dinner was ready to be served. "My lord, may I presume to assign my daughter to you?" said Mrs.
Newville asked, interrupting the narrative. "Canvasback! What may it be? Really, you have most astonishing things to eat over here," Lord Upperton replied. Mrs. Newville explained that it was a duck, and that it was regarded as a delicacy. "I never ate anything so delicious," said Upperton. Mr. Dapper also praised it. "Was the marriage of our king and queen a love-match?" Miss Chanson inquired.
"Miss Ruth wants you to come up de stairs to her chamber," said Pompey, when Berinthia called at the Newville home to show her the letter Tom had written. "So you have heard from Tom?" "Yes, and he says that Robert Walden was killed at the very last of the battle." "It is as I said. I saw him go down and their feet trample him in the dust!" "Was it Robert you saw?" "Yes.
