Only little giddy and dazed; the

Hope. steadying her voice by a strong
effort II felt faint when we were
driving round the lakes. But, dear
Mrs. Saville, may say that greater
blame attaches to the girl who allowed
your son to sacrifice himself for her,
than to him?"
No doubt she is a designing mink
But she will find that she reckoned
without her host when she caught my
son. Existence as the wife of a poor
naval of1icer is not quite a bed of
roses"
And suppose she proves a devoted
wife, prudent, careful, self-denying;
would you not IN time forgive her, and
pardon him for his misfortune in fall
Ing a victim to-her designs?"
You suppose what is highly I'M
probable; but even IL this woman
prove a gem OF the finest water, that
Will do nothing towards pushing my
son In his career. All must come from
him; and a wife endowed with money
or interest, or both, can do so much
for a man. Maddening as all this is,
what embitters me most is my sons
contemptuous disregard Of me. To
marry without word of notice, an at
tempt to win my consent, was an in
suit"
But Mrs. Saville, II I may venture
to speak on a subject so near your
heart, do you not think that the hope
lessness OF gaining your consent held
him back from making the attempt"
ut should have held him back also
from such ungrateful disobedience He
knew he would break-no. not break
my heart-mine is not the kind of
heart which breaks-but harden It
with a hardness that pains, with a
dull. indescribable aching" And she
pressed her hand on her bosom.
"Oh. yes. II was wrong-terribly
wrong" cried Hope, and there was a
sound OF tears in her voice, but you
know your sons nature. Rightly or
wrongly. he loved this girl with all his
heart, and she was singularly desolate,
friendless. penniiess. How could he
desert her. being the man he is? how
could he help her effectually save as
her husband? It was imprudent, I
know, and very wrong. but not unpar-
donable. Dear Mrs. Saville, think how
unhappy your son must be, parted
from you as he is. and oh, think OF
the sad future of self-reproach and re-
greet you are creating for his unhappy
wife"
