In about two hours the promenaders returned and found her lying back speechless in her chair, the bottle and glass by her side; her eyes rolled wildly as she gazed vacantly on her children, but she was unable to utter a word. Miss Watson became alarmed and summoned a doctor immediately, who, on entering the room, perceived at once the cause of Mrs.

Primer to herself, with surprise, which she kept to herself, and she said to Mavering: "Oh yes, indeed! It's altogether better. Aren't they nice looking fellows?" she said, putting up her glass to look at the promenaders. "Yes," Mr. Mavering assented.
