door of the room was locked. Madame Corunel locked the
door to keep the children out, she being unwell. Wee never

creaks I went to fetch a book. I stayed half an hour • for
the day was hot, end I stayed to rent • little. I had, I
think, some cider. I had been walking with Madame
Cannel, and she was too tired to go with me.
Nothing improper happened then. I was at Gravesend with
Mr. Gibson in the same mouth. 1 had met him at the Remo-
gate &ear, and we set out to come to town together. Mr.
Gibson said he we. going to Graveered to meet his father. I

When we got to the hotel we ordered dinner; and then I
weal into a bedroom, to which the chambermaid showed me.
I saw Mr. Gibson'e portmanteau in the room, and I sad
the chambermaid to show me into another, assigning se my

Cromemeastred—l slept two night. after I had been to
Erherville at the Eaton Hotel. Mr. Gibson left me at the

the Erica Hotel. He MR me almost before the trek
elc:rend for a good moon—he bad seen one of his
,ot at Rashervnts, and he was of pour anxious to get
out of the way. (Laughter.) There was a man at Rother-
vino looking after us, and when we went away asked to get
up on the box by the Me of the driver. Mr. Gilson wee
therefore anxious to get away as sere as ha method town. I
cora egarly soy w\iiiir )10 knew bekeshand that I wee
ruling to town. Ido not know that he took any learner's
hairnet in me. I don't know whether he saw his father at
threveord. Except th. time I we. in the bed-nos, and
ear 21 minutes be was speaking to Mr. Bremner, he was
with me all the time he was et Roahervtlle. With reseed to
the lettere which he wrote to me, I admit that it we.
mirindiscrest in him to odder, nee se "My ova
Clara ;" but I did tot regard the letters
r having say particular meaning in them. I wrote
to him, I thiak from Cardiff, remonstrating with him on the
UM of =Oh terms. The meson why it was neciesery to give
