affirmance that "he'd have a spy at him, though he should burn his fingers!" Whereupon, Mr. Cawthorn, after a survey, coaxed-on an extravagantly quizzical gesture, and cogently advised "an immediate call, and no denial:" which so coincided with Smith's own project, that he cottoned apace towards the acute counsel—whom he consequently treated to multiplex private memoirs, up-wound by a tender, that Cawthorn should accompany him-Smith contracting to desert (for the nonce) a "precious chum of his, who was 'no good.'” Mr. Cawthorn poignantly regretted invincible engagements should debar such gratification: but "his precious chum was present ?" No: he was "bolstered at the Hotel Dongletier," something (confounded) ailing his neck. "Common soreness?" "No." "Excoriation of the uvula ?" "No." "Tumification of the tonsils ?" "No." "What, then, in the limits of surgery! could it be?" That, Smith couldn't by no means hit-off (be 1 it for ever anathematised!) but "Oh !"-he cried, reflectively-" why's this you oil the hinges of a door ?" "Because they creak, probably.” "Ay, ay!-that's it!-knew I'd notch him at last!"-Bill Hunks was grieving under a creak i' the neck! The assembly separated. Dean Evelyn's carriage had been repeatedly announced. The apartment became thinner and thinner. But, entranced, the old man read-on. NOTES.

Spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, The declining sun supremelier arrayed an enclosure in the vine-range between Vevay and Lausanne. It seemed distinct from the adjoining soil by its close skirting. Open only to the waters, a wild copse fenced the remainder. There sprung Spain's chesnut in its rich "brown horror;" the infant-oak luxuriated; limes frolict their merry foliage amongst the sombre; while the Alp-rose lent its contrast, and even trenched on the enceinte. This spread, in level greenness, toward the lake; but, with blade-like check, shelved perpendicular, a mossy wall, to a lower tier, verdant also,—whose brink, at length, the |
