not so easily dismissed; he KEEP
Ibis post by the side of the novice
and condescendingly explained t.
him all that was novel or extra
ordinary in the scene, not withou
putting in a tender word at inter
yals,y when the Doctor was looking
another way, intending to snatch
a favorable opportunity of running
off with his fair companion; but
the other was always on the alert
changing from right to left, as the
agonized Doctor moved the novice
on various pretexts, from one arm
to the other. 1na .as,
AT the conclusion of the cere
mony he made another desperate
effort to get away; but his neigh
Dor declared that he had received
SO much pleasure from the Doctor
company, that he was resolved to
invite him and his charge to sup
per. q The alarmed Doctor tried to
excuse himself, saying that it was
not becoming in person in his
station to sit at the table with a
nobleman.r s.5i-, ilf 1853
"Pshaw," said Don Felix, 'that
is all nonsense; we spring from the
same flesh and blood, and have
the same forefathers, and are cous-
ins in the thirtieth or fortieth de-
gree at furthest.9 However, if you
will notsup with me, ! am deter
mined to do so with you. Here, "
said he to one of his domestics,
whom he recognized in the crowd,
"order my supper to be carried
over to the house of Don Ambro-
sio; we will make a night of it. "
The doctor not knowing to what
length so wild a young man might
carry his frolic, chose what he es-
teemed the least of the two evils,
and agreed to accompany Don Fe-
lix,home, on the express condi-
ton that they should not be de-
tanned more than an hour.

host, ''perhaps it may not keep
you half so long"
Soon after they arrived, supper
was announced; and the Prince,
Doctor, and novice sat down to
the table,. 1t being the vigil of
Christmas, the meal was, of course,
entirely meagre, consisting chiefly
of fish. ata9a q d.w @

his eyes from one dish to the 9TH

bottom Of the table; then, start

roared, in a voice like thunder, ''all
without parsley?' That villain
of a cook shall pay for his neg

treaties Of Don ,Ambrosio; until,
at length, spying his sword in a
corner he seized it, and rushing
down stairs, swore he would send
his careless cook to his mortal ac-
count. -l 80 q
A tremendous uproar was heard
below, which made Ambrosio trem-
bic for the life Of the unlucky offen-
del. Just then a dozen servants
hurried into the room, ''Don Am
brosiio, Don Ambrosio! are you
not ashamed to let Don Felix cut
all our throats for a little parsley,
when you have SO much in your
window? For Heavens sake run
over and fetch some, or we shall be
all murdered" With these words
they laid hold of him; one pull
ing and another pushing, until
they got him fairly down stairs,

uchin to follow "What ]" they
said, "are you afraid of our eating

parsley?HieriV soil
Is Findingothere was no remedy,

way to his own house, tore up the
parsley by its roots, and was back
