Trowbridge sipped his wine meditated a little sipped again and started with the promised anecdote in these terms: WHAT I am going to tell you, gentlemen, happened when I was a very young man, and when I was just setting up in business on my own account. My father had been well acquainted for many years with Mr. Fauntleroy, of the famous London banking firm of Marsh, Stracey, Fauntleroy & Graham.
They shrank from their enterprise instinctively, but the door was thrown open, and they saw a bath, and a sponge, and a towel, and Mr. Stracey lying on his back reading The Sporting Times. He extended a long brawny arm. The strength of the arm fixed itself on Willy's mind, and he doubted if he had not better take the proffered hand. "I brought my friend Mr.

"Well, Godolphin," said Saville, as he saw the former rise to depart; "you will at least dine with me to-day a punctual eight. I think I can promise you an agreeable evening. Poor old Stracey!
"Yes, it struck me that we might both go round to the fellow's hotel Stracey, you call him, I think and you might tell him that his visits must cease at the Manor House, and that he must not speak to your sister if he should happen to meet her. That should bring the matter to an end. He is in Brighton he is staying at the 'Grand. We might go round there to-morrow morning."
"He discharged his coachman for wearing white gloves instead of brown," said Stracey. "'What do you mean, sir, cried he, 'with your d d showy vulgarities? don't you see me toiling my soul out to be plain and quiet, and you must spoil all, by not being brown enough!" "Ah, Godolphin, you seem pensive," whispered Fanny; "yet we are tolerably amusing, too."

You don't think of me when you go down to browbeat Charlie Stracey; you don't think of what would have been said of me had Frank hit him, and it had all come out in the papers." Maggie said no more; she saw she had gone too far.
Small wonder this district has proved such a whirlpool of evil influences, where everyone is always striving for himself, and where disillusions and bitter experiences have caused each man to distrust his neighbour. G. Farrar, Mr. Hammond, and Mr. C. Leonard. Mr. Rhodes died in the spring of 1902. Now Colonel Stracey Clitheroe. Now Colonel Grenfell, 3rd Dragoon Guards. Now Major Beresford.

But you will come and see us all the same, and let me sit on your knee?" "Of course I will, Cissy, and now good-night." Next morning Willy declared himself ready to go and see Mr. Charles Stracey, and to tell him that he was not to call any more at the Manor House, or speak to Miss Brookes if he should happen to meet her.
