"Gentlemen, you're welcome," said old M'Mahon; "but I'm sorry to say that it's to a house of grief and throuble I must welcome you--death's here, gentlemen, and more than death; but God's will be done, we must be obaidient." "M'Mahon," said Chevydale, "give me your hand.

I am sorry that either you or your son have suffered anything on my account.

I am come now to render you an act of justice--to compensate both you and him, as far as I can, for the anxiety you have endured.

Consider yourselves both, therefore, as restored to your farms at the terms you proposed originally.

I shall have leases prepared--give up the notion of emigration--the country cannot spare such men as you and your admirable son.
