"I will take the responsibility, sir, of answering other observations of Mr. Wyllys's," replied Mr. Reed.

It is rather strange that she should have chosen James Hubbard; but she might have done worse." With these philosophical reflections, Mrs. Wyllys's friends looked forward to the happy event which was soon to take place.

Creighton and the two gentlemen entered Miss Wyllys's parlour, they only found there the Wyllyses themselves and Mary Van Alstyne, all of whom had already heard of Harry's threatened difficulties. Neither Miss Agnes nor Elinor had seen him since he had received the letters, and they both cordially expressed their good wishes in his behalf; for they both seemed inclined to Mr.
Wyllys, and Miss Agnes, during the whole evening and the next morning, early, drove out to Wyllys-Roof, expressly to carry some brook-trout, for Mr. Wyllys's breakfast.
