THE BULLERS--MATILDA TAKES ME UP--WE FALL OUT--MR.

GEORGE.
Major Buller took me home to his house after my father's death.

My father had left his affairs in his hands, and in those of a friend in England--the Mr.Arkwright he had spoken of.

I believe they were both trustees under my mother's marriage settlement.
The Bullers were relations of mine.

Mrs.Buller was my mother's cousin.
She was a kind-hearted, talkative lady, and good-looking, though no longer very young.
