As we sit together in the hush of his snuggery of an evening, surrounded by guns, fishing-lines, and old prints, there are times when we scarcely exchange a dozen words between dinner and bed-time, and yet we have all the time a keen and satisfying sense of companionship.

"That is the old parlour, I think," he said, glancing into one of the rooms. "Yes. It is your father's snuggery, now.

Miss Broadhurst, you play chess? Colambre, you'll play with Miss Broadhurst " "I thank your ladyship," said Miss Broadhurst, "but I know nothing of chess but the moves: Lady Catherine, you will play, and I will look on."
