In the easiest of easy chairs he sat in the garden beneath the leafy branches of apple trees, and undiluted wisdom and advice flowed from his lips in a stream as he beamed delightedly upon his entertainer.

"All my vast experience is at your service, and the best and sweetest and prettiest girls in Sunwich regard me as a sort of second father." "What's a second father?" inquired Jim, looking up "a grandfather?" "Go your own way," said the other; "I wash my hands of you.
Jack Nugent gave evidence in the case, and some of his replies were deemed worthy of reproduction in the Sunwich Herald, a circumstance which lost the proprietors a subscriber of many years' standing. One by one various schemes for preventing his son's projected alliance were dismissed as impracticable.
"What did he come here for?" said the captain. Miss Nugent glanced down at her plate. "I can't imagine," she said, demurely. "The first time he came to tell us what had become of you."
