So troubled was he at this, that he arose, and knocked at his mother's chamber, told his concern, and his apprehensions that all was not right at his relation's house. Dear son, says the good old gentlewoman, do not mind these foolish dreams; and I very much wonder, that you, being a person in holy orders, should have regard to such illusions.
Why, I never saw such a sight as you. You come down from London; you play hide and seek about your relation's house; and here, when you do condescend to step in eh? how is it? You ain't, I hope, ruined, Tony, are ye?" Rhoda stood over her uncle to conceal him. "He shall not speak till he has had some rest. And yes, mother, he shall have some warm tea upstairs in bed. Boil some water.

Lorand gazed at the group dispiritedly, while Czipra, unnoticed, escaped from the room.

"I don't know stealing around like a strange cat in some relation's house, I suppose." "You once said you would like to do something for her." "Well, I would. If I could afford it, I'd like to send her to school." "Would you like her to come here and study lessons part of the time?" He shivered visibly. "No, Alida, and you wouldn't either.
And it may not be improper to observe with respect to that gentleman, that he now resides in quality of companion at a relation's house, being very well liked and seldom sitting at the side-table, except when there is no room at the other; for they make no stranger of him.
