Howard had guests. and these none other
than the Most Noble the Marquis of
Caulheld and his august spouse and
daughter. His uncle at once directed
Horace. somewhat ostcntatiously the lat

stately Lady Susan's side, who was all

There hnally was a general move 10 The
gardens: and Horace determined To 90

But she was quite safe in saying this,
Jack being far too sharp to take words

Il wonder what you are going to say

"Oh, dear-oh, dear!." mentally sighed
Horace, what a dull thing is love-making

frantic scream, a mans loud cry for help:
