Morritt: "No it was left by Reynolds to Mason, by Mason to Burgh, and given to me by Mr. Burgh's widow." W. Harrison Ainsworth, the author of Rookwood and other popular romances. It is interesting to know that Scott would not read this book until Woodstock was fairly off his hands.

A tall thin young man, with dark wiry hair brushed on one side, was drawing on a pair of white Woodstock gloves, and affecting to look round the room with the supreme indifference of bon ton.
Waymark remembered that one of his father's unfortunate speculations had been the purchase of certain shares in some Welsh mines.

Mr. Woodstock explained that things were looking up with the company in question, who had just declared a dividend of 4 per cent. on all their paid-up shares.

I had the pleasure, as it happened, of being the first person to forward this information to Admiral Dupont, when it came through the pickets, many months after, thus concluding my report on the Berosa.

John Woodstock and his sister was becoming animated, and their aunt, who never could understand the difference between a discussion and a quarrel, was listening anxiously, expecting every moment to see Marjory flounce out of the room at one door, and John at the other, in their respective furies.
