Miss Campbell, will you allow me to

her hand upon the lock of the door.

Capt Hardy, I command you, as your

dispatches you bear. know something Of
the circumstance to which you allude, and

You will leave at once, sir, and you will
ask my lord for me, that when he sends his

You shall answer for this said Hardy,
with one of his fierce oaths, clapping his
hand to his side.
Moderate your own tone, if you please,
replied Graham, cody; 'recollect you are

whispering.

'Davie!' said Graham, springiug up'to

his hand.
