get from hence, Hud the landlady to me, — for I heard the
death-watch all night long; and when he dies, the youth,
his son, will certainly die with him; for he is broken-
hearted already.
I was hearing this account, continued the corporal, whe&
the youth came into the kitchen, to order the thin toaR the
landlord spoke of; — but I will do it for my father myselR,
said the youth. — Pray let me lave you the trouble, young
gentleman, laid s, taking up a fork for the purpole, and
cAering him my chair to At down upon by the Are, whilR
! did it.'—' I believe, Sir, laid he, very modeRly, I can
please him belt myself. — I am lure, laid I, his honour

heartily welcome to it: — He made a very low bow, (which,
was meant to your honour) but no answer, — forhishearC

rant you, my dear, said i, as I opened the kitchen-door,
your father will be well again.— Mr. curate was
smoaking a pipe by the kitchen-Are, — but laid not a word
good or bad to comfort the youth. — I thought it wrong, add-

When the lieutenant had taken his glass os lack and toaR,
he felt himlelf a little revived, and sent down into the kit-
