was to be said; blank looks and slight Cdg-

Ccptiblc. The change was 50 slight that the
object OF II, cncased as he was in goodly
armOr of Conccit, seemed totally unaware
Of it. He had taken all the homage, all
the attentions ~ the natural consequence
OF the remarkable personal qualiiCatiOns

was that Ii could have arisen from mis-
