Schwiden, not apparently reckoning her own to be of the same gender, "and a gentleman who was riding by stopped and interfered and took him out of their hands, and then asked him his name, struck I suppose with his appearance. Very kind, wasn't it? men so seldom bother themselves about what becomes of children, I suppose there were thousands of others riding by at the same time."

Rossitur's, had been dining with her, and was in the drawing-room. Mr. Schwiden had been there too, and he and Marion, and one or two other young people, had gone out to some popular entertainment. The children knew little of Dr. Gregory, but that he was a very respectable-looking elderly gentleman, a little rough in his manners.

"Rolf Rossitur Schwiden." Alas, how wide are the ramifications of evil! How was what might have been very pure pleasure utterly poisoned and turned into bitterness!

She dared look at nobody but the child.
