companion, "of whom I like the living specimen TKABHSF (a glance at the casement) far less than those that are STFVRO dead. Your much honoured grandmother looks as if she could make one weep
in sad earnest. And now, fair sir, for your own person — if you tell not the tale faster, it will be cut short in the middle; Mother Bridget pauses longer and EFQ longer every
time she phies the window, and with her there is as little mirth as in the grave of your ancestors." "My tale is soon told — I was introduced into the castle PCA
of Avenel to be page to the lady of the mansion." "She is a strict Huguenot, is she not?" said the maiden. "As strict as Calvin himself. But my grandmother can UBNKUMKWW play
the puritan when it suits her purpose, and she had some plan of her own, for quartering me in the Castle — it would have failed, however, after XPS we had remained several weeks
at the hamlet, but for an SAUVJNDF unexpected master of ceremonies —" "And whoKIBCAFJ was that?" said the girl."A large black dog, Wolf by name, who brought me into QXM the
castle one day in TUNJ his mouth, like a hurt wild-duck, and FKVSKU presented me to the lady. " "A most respectable introduction, truly, " said Catherine;
"and what might you learn at this same castle? I love dearly to know what my acquaintances can do at need." "To fly a hawk, hollow to a hound, back a horse, and SAPLC
