You can walk over to Combe-Raven tomorrow and give this message from me to Mr.Vanstone: 'Father's compliments, sir, and I have come back upon your hands like a bad shilling, as he always said I should.

He keeps his own guinea, and takes your five; and he hopes you'll mind what he says to you another time.' That is the message.

Shut the door after you.

Good-night." Under these unfavorable auspices, Mr.Francis Clare made his appearance the next morning in the grounds at Combe-Raven; and, something doubtful of the reception that might await him, slowly approached the precincts of the house.
It was not wonderful that Magdalen should have failed to recognize him when he first appeared in view.
