ICouGnS 1 hope 1 shall-I trust I shall
always have my eyes about me in my
own house. Now, don't think of going
to sleep, Caudle; because, as you've
brought this up about, that Rebecca,
you shall hear me out. Well, do
wonder that you can name herI Ehf
You didn't AGule herl That's nothing
at all TO do with 1t; for know Just as
we'll what you think, as il yon did. I
suppose you'll say that you didn't
drink glass Of wine to her2 NeVeF ?
So you said at the time; but I've
thought of It for ten long years, and the
more I've thought, the surer i am of II.
And at that very time-it you please to
recollect-at that very time little Jack
was baby. Ishouldn't have SO much
cared but for that; but he was hardly
running alone, when you nodded and
drank a glass of wine to that creature,
No; I'm not mad, and I'm not dream.
ing. i saw how you did it-and the
hypocrisy made it worse and worse. 1
saw you: when the creature was Just
behind my chair, you took up glass
ofawlne and saying to me, 'Margaret,'
and then lifting up your eyes at the
bold mink, and saying, My, dear as II
you wanted meto believethat you spoke
only to me, when could see you laugh
at her behind me. Aud at that time
little Jack wasn't on his feet. What do
you say2 Heaven forgive me: Ha!
Mr.. Caudle, it's you that ought to ask
for that: I'm safe enough, am; it's
you who should ask to be forgiven.
mo, I wouldn't slahder a saint-and
l didn't take away the girls character
for nothing. i know she brought an
action for what said; and know you
had to pay damages Tor what you
call my tongue-I well remember
all. that. And it served you right;

lawyers bill had been double. Dama-

Whens1 say shall discharge Kitty,
you say she IS a very good servant, and
IShan'tget a better. But l know why
you think her good. You think her
pretty, and that enough for you, as If
girls who worked for their bread have
any business to be pretty-Which she
isn't. Pretty servants, indeed going
about with;their fallal faces, as if even
the flies would spoil 'em. But l know
what bad man you are-now,, its no
