"I beg your pardon," said the Prophet, earnestly. "Sir Tiglath this is indeed a sur a pleasure." Lady Enid was being embraced by Mrs. Merillia.
"Take my coat, please. What's that?" For Mrs. Merillia's bells struck shrilly upon his astonished ears. "I think it's Mrs. Merillia, sir. She keeps on ringing." "Mrs. Merillia. At this hour! Heavens! Is she ill?" "I don't know, sir. She keeps ringing; but when I answer it she says, 'Go away! she says. 'Go she says, sir." "How very strange!"

"It's the thing!" whispered the Prophet. "What thing?" inquired Madame, who had become rather pale. "The dark thing that told me the Crab was dressed. It has come again." "My word!" ejaculated Madame, looking uneasily around. "Where is it?" Just then Malkiel the Second's feet once more began to tremble among the plate of Mrs. Merillia.

You will serve dinner for three to-night, very quietly, in the inner dining-room. I do not wish Mrs. Merillia to be disturbed in her illness, and " "If you please, sir, Mrs. Merillia feels herself so much better that she is coming down to dinner to-night." "Coming down to dinner!" said the Prophet, aghast. "Yes, sir.

No wonder the Prophet jumped. No wonder Mrs. Merillia cried out, in her pretty, clear voice, "Take care of Beau, Hennessey!
