Sir Marmaduke felt that he had moth
ing more to urge. He had altogether
abandoned that idea of having his
revenge at the costs of the mans throat,
and was quite convinced that reason
could have no power with him. He
was already thinking that he would go
away straight to his lawyer, so that
some step might be taken at once to
stop, if possible, the taking away OF the
boy to America, when the lock of the door
was gently turned, and the landlady
entered the room.
"You will excuse me sir" said the We
man, "but if you be anything TO this
gentleman"
"Mrs. Fuller, leave the room," said
Trevelyan. IL and the gentleman are
engaged"

of that, / scorn it. But il this gentle

81 am his wife's father" said Sir Mar
maduks.
Like enough. was thinking per-
haps SO. His lady was down here on
Thursday,-as sweet a lady as any gen
tleman need wish to sketch by his
side"
"Mrs. Fuller" said Trevelyan, march
ing up towards her, 81 will not have
this, and ] desire that you will retire
from my room"
But Mrs. Fuller escaped round the
table, and would not be banished. She
got round the table, and came closely
opposite to Sir Marmaduke. 81 don't
want to say nothing out of my place,
sir" said she, "but something ought to
be done He amt fit TO be left to his
self.--not alono,-nOt as be is at present.
He amt, indeed and | wouldn't be do
ing my duty if i didn't say so. He has
them sweats at night as'd be enough to
kill any man; aud he eats nothing, and
he don't do nothing; and as for that pOO-
little boy as is now in my own bed up
stairs, if 1t wasn't that and my Bessy
is fond Of children, don't know what
would become of that boy"
Trevelyan, finding it impossible to
get rid of her, had stood quiely, while
he listened to her. "She has been
good to my child, he said. 81 aoknOwl-
edge it. As for myself, Ihave not been
well. 1t is true. But l am told that
travel will set me on my feet again.
Change of air will do it," Not long
since he had been urging the wretched-
ness of his own bodily health as reason
why his wife should yield to him; but
now, when his sickness was brought as
a charge against him,--was adduced as
= reason why his friends should inter,
fere, and look after him, and concern
themselves in his affairs,-he saw at
once that il was necessary that he
should make little of his ailments.
"Would it not be best, Treyelyan.
that you should come with me 10 a doc
tor ~ said Sir Marmaduke.
"No,-no. i have my own doctor
That is, | know the course which
should follow. This place, though it is
good for the boy, has disagreed with me,
and my life has not been altogether
pleasant;-I may say, by no means pleas
ant. Troubles have told upon me, but
change Of air will mend it all"
81 wish you would come with me, at
once, to London. You shall come back,
you know. Will not detain you"
THANK you,-no. Twill not trouble
you. That willd do, Mrs. Fuller. You
have Intended to DO your duty, no doubt,
oAAA III" YOU NAh SOs W A1A d

"You cannot suppose, Treyelyan,
that We can allow things to go Oh like
this"
''And what do you mean to dof'
"Well, shall take advice. shall

haps TO the Lord Chancellor, and all that
kind of thing. We can't let things &c
on like this"
"YOu can do as you please" said Ire.
yelyan, "but as you have threatened
me, must ask you TO leave me-"
Sir Marmaduke could do no more, an
could saw no more, and he took his leave
shaking hands with the man, and speak
ing to him with courtesy which aston
ished himself 1t was impossible Il
maintain the strength of his indignation
against poor creature who was so man
ifestly unable to guide himself. Blu
when be was in London, he drove d.
once to the house OF DR.. Trite Turbury
and remained there till the doctor re
turned from his round of visits. Ac
cordiRg to the great authority, there
was much still to be done before even
the child could be rescued ont of the
fathers hands. al can't act without
the lawyers" said DIR. Turbury. But
ne explained to Sir Marmaduke what
steps should be taken in such a matter.
Irevelyan, in the mean time. clearly
nnderstanding what hostile measures
would now be taken against hin, car
his mind to work to think how hest he
might escape at once to America with
his boy. wiz"
