After all, by placing yourself in an attitude of endeavouring to save her, it is a hundred to one that you only ensure your own destruction." Hartley shook his head, and bade Esdale hastily farewell; leaving him in the happy and self-applauding state of mind proper to one who has given the best advice possible to a friend, and may conscientiously wash his hands of all consequences.

You see it occurred to me that I was very seldom in my room just at that hour, and that Florinda was almost always there tidying up things about that time. So I picked up that innocent-looking piece of paper." Mrs. Troyle paused again, with the self-applauding air of one who has detected an asp lurking in an apple-charlotte. Mrs.
Jolter, with a self-applauding simper, ironically complimented the strangers on their talking like true Englishmen.
