There is a report, however, that the present Ministry will soon go out, and be succeeded by one more liberal." "Well," replied Reilly, "since I saw you last I have had some narrow escapes; but I think it would be difficult to know me in my present disguise." "I grant that," said Mr.Brown, "but then is there nothing to be apprehended from treachery ?" "I think not," replied the other.

"There is only the farmer and his family, with whom the bishop and I harbored, who are aware of my disguise, and to that number I must now add yourself." "Well," replied Mr.Brown, smiling, "I do not think you have much to apprehend from me." "No," said Reilly, "you have given me too many substantial proofs of your confidence for that.
