That's not a proper question: replied
Pete, when you know full we'll that I can
not read.'
Then hand me the letter, Pete; for ye

Pete handed the letter to Bessie; who,
after adjusting her spectacles, read as fol-

The good old days of queen Bess, his inn, or
tavern, was one of the most favorite in all
England; but the jolly clubs that held their

IS the newly arrived stranger approached
him. 3
Get ready some cold beef and bottle of
Wine,' said the stranger, apparently much
excited. Il have travelled some distance
and am much fatigued.'
Pete bowed and left the room while the
stranger threw himself heavily into chair,
and took long, deep draught from his bran.

round the room, Il believe that old hag,
Loo, is more devil than woman Who in

I've done Milton's job capitally, and old Loo

Ready for you, sir, in half second, said
Pete, looking in at the door.
