interesting. hut poor Mamie it seemed
that everything She said or did was
wrong, how should she teach herself?
She took away the list to think over and
study.
IN the kitchen Dita aud Jacques were
sitting, the former making her slave tell
her stories OF the possessions she would
soon call her own: of pony to ride, and
swans to feed, cows to see MIXED, and
flowers to pick. They were all living in
a world OF Unreality, and Mamie began

year, Master Malcolm had written from
DunmOnaigh, asking for news Of As

the ccrcmOniOuS name Of Margaret Girls

had changed her name; and Andrew had
been very careful always in keeping up

II was settled that Mr. Lovel and

that all was ready for their reception.
He was very anxious that she should be
