once undertook her case, conducting it with
a perseverance and skill seldom surpassed
and that also, while matters were in pro-

provided her with safe retreat, by re-

At first. the Wintocks threatened pro-

glad to forego, for the shrewd old prac-

feeling became absorbed and entranced in
the contemplation of her friend. She had
always appeared to me strikingly handsome
even under the unfavorable circumstances

with the brightness of her queenly beauty.
Time, repose communion with congenial
spirits, had combined to develop her form
and perfect her lowell face. She might
have sat for model in ancient Greece.
