when her eyes were closed in death, the present arrived. It
was the " Forget-me-not," elegantly bound and richly gilt.
On Thursday morning, about ten o'clock, the ill-fated girl
said she would take another walk, when her cousin advised
her to go towards Upton Warren, adding, " Don't be later
than twelve o'clock, as we will have an early dinner." She
