On the whole, I presume, we are to consider a mauvais sujet as a culprit, compared with whose transgressions, the several enormities of gaming, drinking, and the like, sink into mere peccadilloes. So interesting a girl, however, was not likely to remain long without a suitable admirer, and she speedily had another affaire du coeur.

My sins were all peccadilloes; I always respected my neighbor's property my neighbor's wife. Do you see, dear uncle?" Mr. Wentworth ought to have seen; his cold blue eyes were intently fixed.
