cousin, Tom Field. but you don't ear
about that. About the time of whicl

an illness upon Mrs. Chester Field. an,

and after having held Il council as t,
che propricty of leaving Ri and me il
charge, decided in the affirmative.
The path hcing clear, there was II,
one to object if We did exactly as W,
pleased, and accordingly we did. W,
had the incest little dinners, the coSicS
little tea parties, the most intoxicatin.
little dances that heart could wish. q
course this enjoyment of ours coul,
have been considerably improved bN
the addition of the village youth. bu
II happened not to be their vacation
and there were few promising lads hom,
from college; then the clergyman Wa.
an elderly gentleman, and the mcdica
student WAS engaged and not to ON
taste; So that our teas and dances
leaned on the slender support of Frank
Rugby, Tom Field, (who now and then
came home to the house of his cousin
where he had grown up,) Rob Ran
dolph and one or two others. which oc-
c;I>i"ncd great pulling of caps and {;
.lumhle of girls dancing together to THEN
utter coltIISion. Now You may readily
imagine that in such IL strait an eligible
individual did not enter the village and
remain long unknown.
