Don't be afraid, mamma! I know what I am about, and I know I am right." "Going to Justice Bervie's!" cried Mrs.Bowmore, in the utmost extremity of astonishment.

"What will your father say, what will Percy think, when they come back from the Club ?" "My sister's carriage is waiting for me close by," Bervie answered.

"It is entirely at Miss Bowmore's disposal.

She can easily get back, if she wishes to keep her visit a secret, before Mr.Bowmore and Mr.Linwood return." He led her to the door as he spoke.

She ran back and kissed her mother tenderly.
