Yegor Ivanitch looked round him quickly and flung up his hands.
My grandfather having, as I have told, a compassion for the silly affection wherewith the honest man of Crail still regarded his wanton wife, told him the circumstantials of his adventure with the stripling; without, however, letting wot he had discovered that the invitation was from her; the which was the case, for the damsel who looked out at the window was no other than the giglet he had seen in her lodging when he went thither with Sir David Hamilton, and he proposed to the disconsolate husband that he should be his friend in the adventure; meaning thereby to convince the unhappy man, by the evidence of his own eyes and ears, that her concubinage with the Antichrist was a blessed riddance to him and his family.

"I dinna ken, nor I dinna care much, either. She's gane awa' frae Pittenloch, and Pittenloch had a gude riddance o' her." "Gane!"

"Thank goodness!" exclaimed Mr. Beebe to himself, and struck the saddle of his bicycle approvingly, "It was the one foolish thing she ever did. Oh, what a glorious riddance!"
"Why, what's the matter?" he asked in a tone of concern that had just a touch of hardness in it.

"You have no right to say that," flashed Alice. "I have a right to tell your cousin about this foolishness.
I am glad he has gone." "But," said Ann, "he was her son " "Yes, more's the pity." In a day or two it was known that Peter had disappeared.

"A good riddance," said Swinton; "I hope the Major is now satisfied with buffalo-hunting." "I am, at all events," replied Alexander. "I feel very sore and stiff.
