"Ambrose! stay, we must bring him. There, his tail wagged! If the blood were staunched " "Stephen! Indeed he is stone dead! Were he our brother we could not do otherwise," reasoned Ambrose, forcibly dragging his brother to his feet. "Go on we must. Wouldst have us all slaughtered for his sake? Come! The rogues will be upon us anon. Spring saved this good man's life. Undo not his work. See.

The application of a little cold water soon staunched the flow of blood, and a few kind words soothed the feelings of the child, who sat in her mother's lap, and answered her aunt when she spoke to her, like a little lady, as she was. "Where are the rest of your children?" asked Mrs. Fleetwood. The gentlemen were now seated with the ladies. "You've had a pretty fair sample of them," replied Mr.
