"But listen to the letter I have received from my kind and considerate guardian, as he styles himself," said Hector. He read Allan Roscoe's letter to the usher. "He seems in a great hurry to condemn you," said Mr. Crabb. "Yes, and to get me off his hands," said Hector, proudly. "Well, he shall be gratified in the last. I shall accept Walter's invitation, and we will go up to New York together."

The first apartment into which our guide showed us was Sir Walter's study, where I again saw his clothes, and remarked how the sleeve of his old green coat was worn at the cuff, a minute circumstance that seemed to bring Sir Walter very near me.

Kenrick was aware of what he meant, and his heart fluttered as he now hoped to regain a lost friend; but just at that moment Walter's attention happened to be attracted by Eden, who, though sitting some benches off, wished to telegraph his congratulations to Power. Unfortunately, therefore, Walter turned his head away, before he knew that Kenrick's hand was actually touching his.

But the success of this expedition did not answer the greatness of the preparations for it; the jealousy of the earl of Essex the commander, obstructing the services which Sir Walter's abilities might otherwise have performed.

I think, if I may say so, that you ought to admit now, however much you may have objected to Walter's choice of a profession in the first instance, that he has justified his choice. He put his hand to the plough and he has not looked back. That is a good deal to say for a young man with Walter's temptations towards an easy, perhaps idle, life." "Well," said the Squire, "I do admit it.

"Right you are, ma'am!" growled the giant. "That's just what I am going to do." The lady turned pale. She was frightened, but her concern for Walter's safety overcame her fear for herself. "I shall stay here," she said, "It would be cowardly to leave you." "Take my advice, boy," growled the tramp, "and clear out of here. It is no concern of yours."
