neighbours affairs in theory much better than
they do their own in practice-shook their |
heads in solemn conclave when Mr. Hep |
worth married the second time; but an ad-
ded shade Of venom was in their councils .

paragraph, the birth of a son and heirat the .
great house

now. II was bad enough when Hepworth .
married chit of a girl who, OF course, cared
for nothing but his money; but now there
is son, there is no hope for Claricc."

spring-time Of life, yet having already taken
the holy ties Of wife and mother into her
pure heart knelt in one Of the rooms of the
great housc-knelt 10 bring her beautiful .
face nearer the cradle pillow upon which
rested the soft cheek Of her baby boy. ].
