But those moral objections which had first placed an insurmoutable barrier be- tween Harriet and him still existed. Greville knew that Sir Charles was in love with Harriet and Harriet with Sir Charles.
 As soon as Sir Charles arrived back in London from his Italian mission ans2sss It seemed certain that he and HarEtet would soon be married, MT. Grevtile sought an opportunity to pick quai-y rel with the Baronet. Once more Sif Charles, forced against his principles. engaged in wicked duel. He dis-A armed Greville as he had formerly disV armed Sir Hargrave Pollexfen and read s him a lecture which went to the repro- bates soul.
 And now Sir Hargrave Pollexfen sent for Grandson. Sir Pollexfen was dying, and on his deathbed he confessed his sincere repentance and told Sir. Charles how much he owed to the admirable discourse which he had delivered to him on the occasion of their duel and how the wisdom and virtues of Sir Charles and of Harriet had finally brought him to his present state of repentance. A contemplation of two such lives could not fail, thought Sir Hargrave, to bring any man to a real-s ization of his iniquities.

Let me have the pride, the glory" said he, "to quit this dear hand to yours. It is only to your hand that would quit 1t. Oh, happy pair! None but the brave deserve the fair"
 And so 1t was all over-the struggles of Sir Charles and Harriet against that destiny which at one time seemed to be ready to overcome them, that struggle against the results of their own too great excellencies of morals and mind It is supposed that after their marriage they lived happily to good long lives and did not quarrel more than most married people do.
