CHAPTER TX.
PAULINE STILL INCoRRIGIBLE.


Sir Oswald fingered over his wine. 1t was
not every day that he found a companion so
entirely to his taste as Captain Langton.
The captain had a collection of anecdotes of
the court, the aristocracy. and the mesS-r0om,
shat could not be surpassed. He kept his
own interest well in view the whole time,
making some modest illusions to the fire.
ouFncy with which his society was sought
and the number OF ladies who were disposed
to regard him favorably. All was narrated
with the greatest skill, without the least
Boosting, and Sir Oswald, as he listened with
