looking-glass. The thing was of no
great va4ue-it was only a little hand-mir-
ror-and as l was its owner I was at a
loss to understand why the breaking of it
should cause so much excitement The.
servants stood around me wringing their
hands, and INDUCING in all sorts of noisy
demonstrations of grief and sympathy:
while their mistress, who passed in the
world for being a strong minded woman,
looked equally distressed. She told ME
again and again how sorry she was that
such a misfortune should have happened
to me in her house. You will have no
luck now for seven long years, do what
you may" she assured me in quite a Sc
puichral tone And when l laughed. she
waxed quite indignant, and was heard to
remark later that the English were sadly
lacking in reverence.

people will walk miles on the chance OF

others will go far out of their Way To
