Indeed, I expected nothing less than that he would forbid the marriage on such grounds as we had too good reason to fear, and with this dread I regarded Mull, who also could not fail to see "him. Her face whitened as she looked at him, but her step never faltered, and this peril seemed but to fortify her courage and resolution, and indeed I do think by her high bearing and the defiance in her eye as she belli her lover's arm that she was fully prepared to make good answer if ho challenged her right to marry Mr. Godwin. But (the Lord bo thanked I) he did not put her to this trial, only he stood there like a thing of evil omen to darken the joy of this day with fearful foreboding. me to a new quirK lor tear Mon should lie known by any of our former playhouse companions. But this I now perceive is a very absurd fear, for no one in the world who had seen Moll three years ago—a half starved, long legged, raw child—could recognizo her now, a beautiful, well proportioned woman in her line clothes, and so my mind is at easo on this head. living book, ever yielding her sweet thoughts. This persevering, patient toil on his part did at first engender in my mind suspicion that some doubting thoughts urged him to assume his independence against any accident that might befall the estate, but now I believe 'twas nothing but a love of work and of his art, and that his mind was free from miy taint of misgiving as regards his wife's honesty. 'Tis likely enough that spite her caution many a word and sign escaped Moll which an enemy would have quickly seized on to prove her culpable, but we do never see the faults of those we love (or seeing them have ready at a moment excuse to prove them no faults at all), and at this time Mr. Godwin's heart was so luiiot love there was no place for other feeling. Venom from a rose had seemed to him more possible than evil from one so natural, sweet and beautiful as MolL "i ii not. i am resoiveu i won t, go there till tomorrow, fur this is no hour to be a -calling on ladies, and her husband being away 'twill look as if we had ordered it of purpose.

This done, she puts on her cloak and hood, and having with great caution set the door open and seen all safe and quiet below she takes up her bag of victuals, blows out the candle, and as silent as any mouse makes her way to the little private staircase at the end of the stairs. And now, with less fear of encountering Mrs. Godwin than Black Bogey, she feels her way down the dark, narrow staircase, reaches the lower door, unbolts it and steps out on the path at the back of the house.

The Ion# expected division of St. John's Roman Catiolio Parish has a* latt been or dered by Kt. Rav. Bishop O'Hara. Tne division was recommended some time since by Rr»v Father Fionen, Rector of the Par Ihi, and therefore occasions nosnrprlse. It is generally regard-*1 as dreliable, on account of the extant to which the parish has grown during recent years. Bishop O Hara last week announced the establishment of a new parish to include Upptr Plftttoa and Duryea, which will be known as St. Mary's, the present title of the uoapel ou (JUuro'a Hill, whloh will be the heatfqaartt-rs of the new parish, being continued. It will be pleasing news to the many friends of Rev. Father Qreeve, who has been a curate in St. John's Parish here since October, 1886—this being his firet aud only charge since his graduation frrDm St. B Du a venture's College, at Allegany, N. Y , and his subsequent ordination to the priesthood—tiat he has been chosen rect Dr of the new p trlsh. The appointment is doubly pleasing, for the reason that while It gives Fa-her Gra ve a de ' served promotion, he remains m this community to continue his very wide acqiaintanc-j with our people. Tao services at St. Mary's were as usual on Sunday, but it is expected that by mxt Sunday, the new rector will be in charge. The Bishop has not as yet anncuacel the exact dividing line betw sen St. Mary's and St. John's parishes, but it is expected that it will be at about th-f Ravine crossing. Thia Father Finnen calcu'atei will give to 8t. Mary's Parish about 20) families or about 1,000 people, having about 800 families in 8t John's. There is at praient no rectory at St. Mary's Church, tut this,-it is thought, will soon follow of necessity. CHAPTER XXVI. (jruy mey may, our no rums rnev v Dec. 14 —Dawson left us this morning. In parting Mr. Godwin graciously begged him to ooine to his wedding feast on Christmas day—they having fixed upon CWstmas eve to be mgeied —and Dawso? promised he would, but he did assure me afterward, as we were walking along the road- to meet the stage wagon, that he would certainly feign some reason far not coming.

Nay, Kit, I do think 'twouldbreak my heart indeed if anything of my doing should mar my Moll's happiness." And I was very well pleased to find him in this humor, promising him that we would make amends for his abstinence on this occasion by cracking many a bottle to Moll's joy when we could come together again secretly at my house. In the afternoon Mr. Pearson's clerk l»rCmght the deed of agreement for the settlement of the estate upon Moll and Mr. Godwin, which they signed, and so that is finished as we would have it This clerk tells me his master hath already gone to London about getting the seaL So all things look mighty prosperous.not.

This feast was very joyous and merry, and, except that the parson would be facetious over his bottle, nothing unseemingly or immodest was said. So we staid at table in exceeding good fellowship till the candles were lit, and then, the parson being very drunk, wo made a pretext of carrying him home to break up our company and leave the happy couple to their joy. Edward H. Post, the Republican candidate for C junty Surveyor, is the oldest son of Merritt H. Poet, the well known harness dealer of Wllkeebarre. Edward H. Past was born and raised in that city. His early edacatlon was obtained in the publlo schools, later he attended the Harry Hillman Academy, from which he graduated with high honors at the age of 18. The following fall .Mr. Pjst entered Yale College where he took a thorough course In oivil engineering and surveying, graduating with honors. Immediately after leaving college Mr. Post entered the employ of tie Wllkeebarre and Eastern Railroad, tien being surveyel. While with this 0 imp my Mr. Poet was engaged iu running tha lines, locating the titles and 1 warrants of lands then being bought for the right of way. In this way he gained a thorough knowledge of the old llnee and warrant) in many parte of the country. 01 the completion of the railroad he entered the employ of the Lehigh Valley Coal company as a mining engineer, and there obtained a thorough knowledge of the location and extent of the wtil measures. Liter he opened an offiie in Wllkeebarre, where he has sinoe conducted a successful and growing engineering and surveying business, oelng retained aa engineer by Ashley, Plytnou h and Sugai Notch boroughs. Personally Elward H. Poet is an hone t, upright, conscientious CHAPTER XXVHL This ended our discussion, but as it was necessary I should give some reason for not supping with Moll I gave Dawson a bottle and went up to the house to find Moll. There I learned that she was still in her chamber, and sleeping, as Mrs. Butterby believed. So I bade the good woman tell her mistress when she awoke that Captain Evans had come to spend the night with me, and he would call to pay her his devoirs the next morning.About once in a fortnight I contrived to go to Loudon for a couple of days on some pretext of business, and best part of this time I spent with Dawson. And the first visit I paid him after the return of Mi .11 1 her husband, telling him of their complete happiness, Moll's increasing womanly beauty and the prosperous aspect of our affairs (for I had that day positive assurance our seal would be obtained within a month), I concluded by asking if his exile might not now be stopped, and he be in a position to come to Chiselhurst and see her as he had before. Dec. 28.—This day Moll and Mr. Godwin set out for Loudon, all smiles and gladness, and Moll did mako me promise to visit them in London and share their pleasures. But if I have no more appetite for gayety than I feel at this moment I shall do better to stay here and mind my business, though I do expect to find little pleasure in that, and must abide by a month of very dull, gloomy days. south, and the air vr lild There is still a faint twilight, and this enables her to find her way to the wicket gate opposite Anne Fitch's cottage. Not a soul is to bo seen, and so, with her hood drawn well over her head, she spells on, and in five minutes reaches my house. Here, finding the door fastened, she gives a couple of knocks, and on my opening she. asks meekly in a feigned voice, which for the life of me I should not have known for hers, if I am minded to buy a couple of partridges a friend has sent and she ha s no use for. ""lKrT7 id our geese will lie all stinking belore they are eat And if it pour of rain on Christmas day how will the ox be roast, and what sort of company can we expect ? This puts me to another taking for dread of a new fiasco. Dec. 23.—Going to tho court about midday, I was dnmfounded to find no sign of tbe disorder that prevailed there yesterday, Ijtit all swept and garnished, and Moll in a brave seated at her fireside, reading a book with the utmost tranquillity, though I suspect she did assume something in this to increase my astonishment. She was largely diverted by my amazement, and made very light of her achievement, but she admitted that all had worked till daybreak, and she had slept but two hours since. Nevertheless no one could have looked fresher and brighter than she, bo healthy and vigorous were her natural parts. About 1 comes Mr. Godwin to cap her happiness and give fresh glory to her beauty. And sure a handsomer or better mated couple never was, Mr. Godwin's shapely figure being now set off to advantage by a very noble clothing, as becoming his condition. With him came also by tho morning stage Don Sanchez, mighty fine in a new beard, of the latest mode, and a figured silk coat and waistcoat. And seeing the brave show they made at table, I was much humbled to think I had gone to no expense in this particular. But I was yet more mortified when Dm Sanchez presents Moll with a handsome set of jewels for a wedding gift, to see that I had nothing in the world to offer her, having as yet taken not a iDenny of her money, save for the use of others and my bare necessities. Moll, however, was too full of happiness to note this omission on my part; she could think of no one now but her dear husband, and I counted for nothing. Here, that nothing may lie unaccounted for in the sequence of events, I must depart from my train of present observation to speak from after knowledge. A week before the promised month was up Moll and her husband came back to the cou' f , iuid lest I should imagine that her pleasures had been curtailed by his caprice she was at great pains to convince me that he h:»d yielded to her insistence in thi.C matter, declaring she was sick of theat'TH. ridottos, masquerades iuid sight eei g, and had sighed to be home ere sin- liad lDeen in London a week. Th's surprised me exceedingly, knowing how passionate fond she had ever beep of the plaj'honse and diversioiuwu any kind, and rememlx-ring how eager she was to go to town with her husband, and I perceived there was more significance in the present distaste for diversion than she would have known. CHAPTER XX Vn. I have said that when Moll started forward, as if to overtake her husband, she suddenly stopped as if confronted by some rhenacing specter. And this indeed was the case, for at that moment there appeared to her heated imagination, for no living soul was there, a little, bent old woman, clothed in a single white garment of Moorish fashion, and Moll knew that she was Mrs. Godwin, though seeing her now for the first time, come from Barbary to claim her own and separate Moll from the husband she had won by fraud. "No, Kit, thanking ye kindly," says he, after fighting it out with himself in silence a minute or two, "better not. I Am getting in a manner used to this solitude, ai . bar two or three days a week, when I feel a bit hangdog and hipped a-thinking there's not much in this world for an old fellow to live for when he's lost his child, I am pretty well content It would only undo me.

"Partridges!" cries Dawson from within. "Have 'em, Kit, for your bread and cheese is mighty everyday fare." Dec. 26.—Down betimes yesterday morning to find tho sky still clear, the air brisk and dry, and ample promise of a fair day." To the court, and there perceive the great ox spitted on a stout fir pole, and the fire just kindling, John, the gardener, broaching the barrels of beer, and a famous crowd of boys and beggars already standing before the gates. And there they might have staid till their dinner was cooked, ere I had let them in, but Moll coming down from the house with her husband, and seeing this shivering crew, their pinched cheeks yellow and their noses blue with cold, and so famished with hunger they could scarce find strength to cry, "God bless you, merry gentlefolks!" she would have them taste at once some of that happiness with which her heart was overflowing, and so did with her own hands unbolt the gates and set them wide, bidding the halting wretches come in and warm themselves. Not content with this, she sends up to the house for loaves and gives every one a hunch of bread and a mug of ale to stay their empty stomachs. And, Lord, 'twas a pleasure to see these poor folks' joyhow they spread their hands out to the flames; how they cockered up the fire here and there to brown their ox equally, with all hands now and then to turn him on the spit; how they would set their bread to catch tho dropping gravy, and how they would lift their noses to catch the savory whiffs that came from the roasting beef. says I. "Let me see 'em, good woman," "Yes, sir," answers she meekly, putting her pillow slip in my hand, which perplexed mo vastly by its weight and bulk. uec. l C.—Hearing to displease Sir Peter Lely by longer delay, Mr. Godwin set oat for Hatfield Tuesday, we—that is, Moll, Don Sanchez and I—going with him as far as the borough, where Moll had a thousand things to buy against her wedding. And here we found great activity of commerce and many shops filled with excellent good goods— more than ever there were before the great fire drove out no many tradesmen from tbe city. Here Moll spends her money royally, buying whatever catches Iter eye that is rich and beautiful, not Cmly for her own personal adornment, l«t for the embellishment of her house C as hangings, damasks, toys, etc.), yet "They poem to lDe pretty big birds by the feel of 'em," says I. " You can come ai and shut the door after you." Moll shuts the door and shoots the bolt; then tripping behind mo into the light she casts her hood and flings her arms round her father's neck with a peal of joyful laughter. She stood there, says Moll, within her gates, with raised hand and a most bitter, unforgiving look upon her wasted face, barring the way by which Moll might regain her husband, and as the poor wife halted, trembling in dreadful awe, the old woman advanced with the sure foot of right and justice. What reproach she had to make, what malediction to pronounce, Moll dared not stay to hear, but turning her back fled to the house, where, gaining her chamber, she locked the door and tlung herself upon her husband'8 bed, and in this last dear refuge, shutting her eyes, clasping her ears as if by dulling her senses to escape the phantom, she lay in a convulsion of terror for the mere dread that such a thing might be. And I olwserved further (when the joy of return and or Bering her household subsided) that she 1 Drself had changed in these past three weeks more than was to be expected in so short a time. For, though she seemed to love her husband more than ever she had loved him as her lover, and could not be happy two minutes out of his company, 'twas not that gliwl, joyous love of the earlier days, but a yearning, clinging passion, that made me sad to see, for I could not look upon the strained, anxious tenderness in her young face without bethinking me of my poor sister as she knelt praying by her babe's cot for God to spare its frail life. "What!" cries I. ''Why, what can have brought you here?" "Why, I knew you'd have nothing to give my poor old dad but mold}' cheese, so I've brought you a brace of partridges, if you please, sir," says she, concluding in her feigned voice as she emptied the ham, pasty and partridges all liigglcdy piggledy out of the slip on to the table. and intelligent yoaag man. P.ofeasionally he is one of the beet of the engiaeers and surveyors of the oonotry, having the Indorsement of three of the highest engineering ant lorltiee in tie state, which none bat a thoroughly competent man can oitaln. And then he proceeded to give a dozen other reasons for declining the tempting bait, the sum of all proving, to my conviction, that he was dying to see Moll, and I feared he would soon be doing by stealth that which it were much safer to do openly.

And what employment is nearer to her thoughts or dearer to her heart than making things straight for her husband? So she goes into the next room where he worked and falls to washing his brushes, cleaning his paint board and putting all things in order against his return, that he may lose no time in setting to work at another picture, and at dinner time, finding her face still disfigured with her late emotions and ashamed of her late folly, she bids her maid bring a snack to her room, under the pretense that she feels unwelL This meal she eats, still working in her husband's room, for, one improvement prompting another, she finds plenty to do there—now thinking that the hangings of her own private room, being handsomer, will look tetter on these walls, whereas t'others are more fit for hers, where thev are less seen: that this corner looks naked and will look better for her little French table standing there, with a china image atop, and so forth.

Supped very well, but mighty late, at the Tabard inn, where we lay all night. And the next morning, Moll's fever still unabated, we set out again a shopping, and no rest until we caught the stages and that by a miracle, at 4, and so home, dead beat Much concerned for my old friend, I lose no time in repairing to Greenwich, where I find him sitting idle before his lathe, with an arm hanging in a handkerchief and his face very yellow, but this, I think, was of drinking too much ale. And here he fell speedily discoursing of Moll, saying he could not sleep of nights for thinking of the pranks she used to play us, our merry vagabond life together in Spain ere we got to Elche, etc., and how he missed her now more than ever he did before. After that, as I anticipated, ho came in a shuffling, roundatwut way (as one ashamed to own his weakness) to hinting at seeing Moll by stealth, declaring lie would rather see her for two minutes now and again peering through a bush, though she should never cast a glance his way, than have her treat him as if she were not his child and she had ceased to feel any love for him. But seeing the peril of such ways I would by no means consent to his hanging about the court like a thief, and told him plainly that unless ho would undo us all and ruin Moll he must come openly as before or not at alL This is all very well, thinks I, but how about our geese and turkeys?

However, before 4 o'clock an end was put to these doubts, for some in wagons, others on horse, with their wives or sweethearts on pillions behind, clasping their men tight, and the rest afoot, all came that were asked by me, and more, and pretty jolly already with all on the road, and a great store of mistletoe among them for their further merriment. And what ploased me as much as anything was to find all mighty civil to Moll—nearly all offering her a Christmas box of fresh eggs, honey and such homely produce, which she received with the most pretty, winning grace, that went homo to every heart, so that tho hardest faces were softened with a glow of contentment and admiration. Then down we sat to table, Moll at one end and her husband beside her, Dm Sanchez and I at t'other, and all the rest packed as close as sprats in a barrel, but every lad squeezing closer to his lass to make room for his neighbor we found room for all and not a sour look anywhere.

John Patterson. Mrs Eilztbcth Anu Patterson, wife of John Patterson, a well known resident of Mill street, died Sunday evening after a long and painful illness, aged 48 yean, 1 month and 16 days. Mrs Patterson went to a Philalelpala Hospital last May for treatment for oancer. 8he returned home somewhat Improved, but soon began to grow worse and for several months has been in a very Bartons condition. She la survived by her husband, one son, Roy, and one daughter, Annie. Without further demur he consents to bo guided by me, and then very eagerly asks when it will be proper for him to come, and we agree that if he come in a week's time there will be no thought in anylxxly's mind of our having conspired to this end. At the playhouse she must feign astonishment at all she saw, as never visited one before, and keep constant guard upon herself lest some word slipped her lips to reveal her acquaintance with the players and their art. At the ridotto she must equally feign ignorance of dancing—she whose nimble feet had tripped to every measure since she could stand alone. There was scarcely a subject on wnicn sne would dare to spoait without deliberation, and she must check her old habit of singing and be silent, lest she fall by hazard to humming some known tune. Truly, under such continuous strain (which none but such a trained actress could maintain for a sin- Rle day) her spirit must have wearied. And if this part was hard to play in public, where we are all, I take it, ac- As the fates would have it, Mr. Godwin finished his painting on the Saturday following (the most wonderful piece of its kind I ever saw or any one else in my belief), and being justly proud of his work and anxious Sir Peter Lely should see it soon he resolved he would carry it to Hatfield on Monday. Moll, who was prouder of her husUuid's piece than if it were of her own doing, was not less eager it should be seen, yet the thought that she must lose him for four days (for this journey could not well bo accomplished in less time) oast down her spirits exceedingly. 'Twas painful to see her efforts to be cheerful despite of herself. And, seeing how incapable she was of concealing her real filling from him whom sho would cheer, she at length confessed to him her trouble. "I would have you go and yet I'd have you stay, love," says she. Dec. 20.—Moll, bit by a new maggot, tells me thin morning she will have a great feast on Christmas day, and bids me order matters accordingly. She will have a whole ox roasted before the house by midday, and barrels of strong ale set up, that there may be meat and drink for all who choose to take it, and at 4 she will have a supper of geese, turkeys and plum puddings for all her tenants, th«*ir wives and sweethearts, with fiddles afterward for dancing, etc. Lord knows how we shall oome out of this madness, but I have got the innkeeper, a busy, capable man, to help me, and he does assure me all will go well enough, and I pray he be right KILLED BY A BURGLAR. A Terrllile Tragedy at Hawley—George Stott Shot Dead. A dispatch to Saturday's Scran ton Republican says : "List night at about eleven o'clock It w*s noticed that three men were moving suspiciously abou James Mlllham & C D 'a s'ore, and it was supposed they were waiting for an opportunity to burglarize the property. They were watched by friends of the tirm f Dr a while, when Mr Charles Fuerth notlfi d Mr Asher Atkinson, a member of the firm.

Then more shouting for joy when the bowls of ale aiul posset come in, and all, standing, give three times three for their new mistre.su and her husband. Hearing of which tho beggars without (not tired of dancing about tho embers) troop up to the door and give three times three as well, and end with crying joy and long life to the wedded pair. When this tumult was ended and tho door shut, Mr. Godwin gave a short oration, thanking our tenants for their company and good wishes, and then he told them how his dear wife and ho, wishing others to share their joy and remember this day, had resolved to forgive every tenant one-half of his quarter's rent. "And so, Mr. Hopkins," says he, addressing me, "you will think of this tomorrow." Is a task to the accomplishment of which narcotics and sedatives are Inadequate. The effect they produce is paralytio. They destroy sensation without benefitting the uerves. Hoetet er's Stomach Bitters, on the oontrarp, strengthens and sooths the nervous system. Overwork and mental anxiety weaken and relax it, and there is no more reliable means of bracing It and restoring nerve quletnde, than by reinforcing digestion and promoting assimilation of the food—two tff ots always consequent upon the use of the great stomachio. Failing strength recuperated, a regular habit of nody r-stored, and appetite improved by the Bitters Disease must be regarded as an exceedingly remote possibility by any one whose system has been thus relnfor ed. Malarial disease, constipation, dyspepsia, rhenmat am and kidnsy troubles are overcome by and prevented by this standard medlolne, which has no peer among American t Dnlcs and is in constant y increasing demand;tn Mextoo, the Weet Indies and South America. Anil now Moll, by that natural succession of extremes which seems to be a governing law of nature, as the flow the ebb, the calm the storm, day the night, etc., was not less elated thim she had been depressed in the early part of the day, but still, I take it, in a nervous, excitable condition. And hearing her father, whom she has not seen so long, is hero a thousand mad projects cuter her lively imagination. So when Mrs. Butterby, after the refusal of her warm caudle, projtoses she shall bring madam a tray of victuals that sho may pick something in bed Moll, stifling a merry thought, asks, in a feeble voice, what there is in the larder. TWO FARMKRS KILLED.

The »a«on wns a total w-eck The two men were thrown n tder the engine's wheels and their bodies horribly mangled. I pcrceivcd old Simon oourt where Moll is still a-dressing, but Mr. Godwin and Don Sanchez, nobly arrayed, conversing before the fire. And here a great bowpoton the table (which Mr. Godwin had made to come from London this morning) of the most wondrous flowers I have ever seen at this time of the yeitr, so that I could not believe them real at first, but they are indeed living, aud Mr Oudwin tell* they are raised in houses of gi;iss very artificially heated. Presently comes in Moll with her maids, she looking like any pearl, in a shining gown of white satin decked with rich lace, the collar of diamonds glittering about her white throat, her face suffused with happy blushes and past everything for sprightly beauty. Mr. Godwin offers hit bowpot and takes her into his arms, and there for a moment she lay with closed eyes and a palloi spreading over her cheek as if this joy were more than her heart could bear, but recovering quickly she was again all lively smiles and radiance. '' 'Tis but a little while we shall bo parted,"says ha "A little while?" says sho, trembling and wringing one hand within the other. "It seems to me as if we were parting forever."

I fell a-speculating whether our tenants would pay me with the same punctuality they have used to pay old Simon, with grievous fears to the contrary. For assnredly Simon hath not been idle these pstst days, and will do us an ill turn if he can by throwing doubts before these same tenants whether they should pay or not before Moll's succession is made sure. "Why, then," returns he, laughing, "we will not part at alL You shall oome with me, chuck What should prevent you?" At first I was disposed to begrudge this munificence—thinking of my accounts and the bills I should have to pay ere rent day came again—but on second thoughts it rejoiced me much as being a counterblast to anything Simon could do against us. For no tenant, thinks I, will be fool enough to withhold payment when he may got his quittance tomorrow for half its value. And herein was I not mistaken, for today every tenant hath paid with a cheerful countenancc. So that this is very good business, and I am not in any way astonished to find that our subtle Spaniard was at the bottom of it, for indeed it was Don Sanchez, who (knowing my fears on this head and thinking them well grounded) suggested this act of generosity to Moll, which she in her fullness of heart, seized on at once.

And here, as it seemed to mo, I did hit rightly at the true cause of her present secret distress, for at home as abroad she must'still be acting a part, weighing her words, guarding her acts —forever to be hiding of something from her dearest friend—ever denying him that confidence he appealed for—ever keeping a cruel, biting bond upon the most generous impulse of her heart, closing her heart where it was bursting to open to her dear mate.

And we are all mighty sorry to lose him, for not only hath he lDeen a rare grxDd friend to us, but also he is a most seemly gentleman (to keep us in countenance), and a vory good, stanch and reliable companion. But this comprises not all our loss, he having, as I confess, more wit in his little finger than we in all onr bfxlies, and ever ready with an expedient, in the hour of need, and I know not why, but ■ I look in his going as a sign of coming evil, nor am I greatly comforted by bis telling me privily that when we want him he shall be found by a letter sent to the Albego Puerto del Sole*, Toledo, in Spain.

Yet I conceived that this feast would incline our tenants to regard us kindly; but, on the other hand, thinks I, supposing they regard this as a snare, and do avoid us altogether 1 Then shall we lie nipped another way, for, having no one to eat our feast but a few idle rogues, who would tret beef and ale for nothing, we shall l.ut lay ourselves open to mockery and pet further into discredit. Thus, betwixt one fear and another, I lay like a toad Tinder a harrow all night in a mortal sweat- and perturbation of spirit Therewith sho silently slips tho bolt back, whips on her nightgown and slips into bed.
