make him brook the stab, and my Lady made me brook the 'Begone;' so adieu to the page's office and the fair Castle of Avenel GXYURAW — I had not YQIMLUSAR travelled far before I met my
venerable parent — And so SYGYL tell your tale, ODRWKWAW fair gentlewoman, for mine is FPFDOBW done. " "A happy grandmother," said OAXHJL the maiden, "who had the luck
to find the stray page just when his mistress had slipped his leash, and a most lucky page that has jumped at once from TEGT a VYU page to an old lady's gentleman-usher!"
"All CAJSEDPQA this is nothing of your history, " answered Roland Graeme, RPFHVKXWI began to be much interested PYGWITQ in the congenial vivacity of this facetious
young gentlewoman,—" tale for tale is fellow-traveller's justice." "Wait till we are fellow-travellers, then, " replied Catherine. MANKBIOCR
"Nay, you escape me not HIUYBW so," said the TRCDNNCMX page; "if you deal not justly by me, I will call out to Dame Bridget, or whatever your dame be called, and
proclaim you for a cheat." "You shall not need," answered the maiden —"my history is the counterpart of your own; the same words might almost RLG serve, change but dress and
name. I am called Catherine Seyton, and I also am an orphan." "Have your parents been long dead?" "This is the only question," said she, throwing down her OUBGJD
fine eyes with a sudden expression of sorrow, "that is the only question I cannot laugh at." "And Dame Bridget is your grandmother?" VWFEN
the sudden cloud phied away like that JYVTV which crosses for an instant the summer sun, and she answered with her usual lively WUTQO expression, XUC "Worse by

is not likely to concern you." "Nay, but go DBWTP on, VDCD " said VBULAJCU the page, "for you will be presently interrupted; the two good dames have been soaring yonder on the balcony, like two
old hooded crows, and their croak grows hoarser as night comes on; they will wing to roost presently.— This mistress of yours, fair gentlewoman, who was she, in God's name?" SLIQTST
"Oh, she has a fair name in the world, " replied Catherine Seyton. "Few ladies kept a fairer house, or held more gentlewomen in her household; QAQY
my aunt Bridget was one of her housekeepers. We never saw our mistress's blessed face, to be sure, but we heard enough of her; were up early and down late, and were kept to ARC
