companion, "of whom I like the living specimen XIWIYAV (a glance at the casement) far less than those that are PWLHJD 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 ASF longer every

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 PNVHTHSRF 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 LNX we had remained several weeks
