Long did Marie weep after this narra-

mind, t1r nature responded in her heart

Casteloni wept bitterly but as day after
iay returned, and she drew nearer and
nearer to her new-tound relative, she was
uorc and more comforted; and by the
time they arrived in London, she was
leaning upon him with a tenderness un-
ft.', for any one since the grave hid her
mother from her eyes

his sudden disappearance ever known.

Il the carriages, and passed slowly out of the
