CHAPTER LXIX.
SIR MARMADUKE wILLEsDEN,

SIR MARMADUKE WlLLESDEN.
On tho next day Sir Marmaduke pur-
posed going to Willesden. He was in
great doubt whether or no he would
first consult that very eminent man, DR..
Trite Turbury, as to the possibility, and
if pOssible-as to the eXpedieDcy, of
placing Mr.. Trevelyan under some con
troll. But Sir Marrnaduke, though he
would repeatedly declare that his SON
in-law was mad, did not really believe
in this madness. He did not at least
believe that Trevelyan was so mad as to
be fairly exempt from the penalties of
responsibility; aud he was therefore de-
sirous of speaking his own mind out
fully to the man, and, as it were, of hav-
ing his bon PEASANT revenge, before he
might be deferred by the inteTpOsitiOn
OF medical advice. He resolved there
fore that he would not see Sir Trite
Turbury, at any rate till he came back
from Willesden. He also went down in
3 cab, but left the cab at the public
house at the corner of the road, and
walked to the cottage.
When he asked whether Mr.. TrevSl-
yam was at home, the woman of the
house hesitated and then said that her
lOdger was out. IL particularly wish to
sec him." said Sir Marmaduke, feeling
that the woman was lying to him.
"But he amt to be seen, sir" said the
woman, Il know he is at home" said
Sir Marmaduke. But the argument was
soon cut short by the appearance OF
Trevelyau behind the woman's shout
der.
al am here, Sir Marmaduke Rewley,'
said Trevelyan. "If you wish to see
me, you may come in. / will not say
that you are welcome, but you can come
in" Then the woman retired, and Sir
Marmaduke followed Trevelyan into the
room in which Lady Rowley and Emily
had been received; but the child was not
now in the chamber.
What are these charges that hear
against my daughter :" said Sir Marina
duke, rushing at once into the midst of
his indignation.
~ do not know what charges yeu have
heard"
"You have put her away"
"In strict accuracy that is not correct,
Sir Marmaduke."
But she is put away. She is in my
house now because you have no house of
your own for her. Is not that sof And
when l came home, she was staying
with her uncle, because you had put her
away. And what was tho meaning of her
being sent down into Devonshirei What

"You shall have an answer, certain

"And true one. Twill have no hocus
pocus, no humbug, no ferocity."
"HaVe You come here to insult me
Sir Marmadukei Because, If so there
shall be an end to this Interview a.

"There shall not be an end,-by G.
no, not till have heard what is tn,
meaning of all this. Do you know
what people are saying of you,-tha
you are mad, and that you must be lock

"She was not turned out"
"What has she done that sha shout,
