After noticing him following her about during one day, she found, to her surprise, on entering the breakfast room the follow ing morning, that he was stationed outside the house, as if awaiting her leaving it. In order to elude what she considered his impertinence, she directed that the carriage should take her up at the back door; and she then pro ceeded for a drive, but had not gone far, when she saw the man hovering about, staring at her. As she had a person with her, he did not accost her ; but this annoy ance continuing, when she wished to take a walk, she took care to have a gentleman with her. SWI the tall man with the red whiskers was seen hanging about, fol lowing her everywhere, and apparently seeking an oppor tunity to speak with her.
