"You may say just what you please, for I like frankness and straightforwardness as well as I ever did; better, a great deal better, for I know its value more. And you, Ernest, I cannot call you any thing else, you are another and yet the same. The same stately, statue-like being I used to try in vain to teaze and torment.
"Jenny," said her young mistress hastily, "it is impossible these men's report can be true; my uncle has heard nothing of it at this instant."

'Old Dacre, as Lord Fitz-pompey described him, was a phantom enough at any time to frighten his youthful ward. The great object of the uncle was to teaze and mortify the guardian into resigning his trust, and infinite were the contrivances to bring about this desirable result; but Mr.

Nobody here knows what he meant? and nobody need know, unless I choose to tell which I don't. Please don't teaze Phil about it, sir: for he knows no more about it than you do." Mr.
