CHAPTER ".

When the Deverills made their ap-
pearance at Kings Abbott on Monday
evening, just ten minutes before the
dlnner-bell rang, they brought in their
train, uninylted, cousin Of their own,
certain Lord Lyndon, who had most
Unexpectedly arrived at their place
that morning,
Il knew you would make him well
come, my dear" the honorable Mrs.
Deverill whispered to her old friend,
Lady Caroline, as they seated them
selves on the soft cushions Of a
lounge; "and really we did not know
In the least what to do with him"
After which little introduction the
young lord was made welcome and civ
lily entreated forthwith. He was a
middle-sized young man OF from
twenty-six to thirty, rather stout than
otherwise, with nondescript features,
and hair slightly inclined toward the
celestial rosy" His mouth, too, was
an inch, more or less, too large for
his face, and his eyes might have been
a degree bluer, but, for all that, they
had a pleasant, genial expression
lurking in their light depths, while
his smile alone would have redeemed
an uglier man.
He was general favorite with most
of his acquaintances, and particular
one with his cousins the Deverills,
who looked upon him fondly enough in
the light Of brotherly relation, time
having convinced them that their
chances were not of that order that
would change his position from friend
to husband. The elder Miss Deverill
was q tall girl, gawklly inclined, pos
sessed Of a very pronounced nose, a
talent for listening, and bright, clev-
er expression, while her sister was par
ticularly ugly. There were no two
opinions on the latter point, either in
Cliston or elsewhere; and indeed char
