¡¡¡¡He shrugged his shoulders. 'You know you only mean that in relation to human life, for of the flesh and the fowl and the fish you destroy as much as I or any other man. And human life is in no wise different, though you feel it is and think that you reason why it is. Why should I be parsimonious with this life which is cheap and without value? There are more sailors than there are ships on the sea for them, more workers than there are factories or machines

for them. Why, you who live on the land know that you house your poor people in the slums of cities and loose famine and pestilence upon them, and that there still remain more poor people, dying for want of a crust of bread and a bit of meat (which is life destroyed), than you know what to do with. Have you ever seen the London dockers fighting like wild beasts for a chance to work?'

¡¡¡¡He seemed to think it was worth the trouble, for he smiled to himself as if quite satisfied, pressed the plump hand gratefully, and said, in his most persuasive tone, `Will you try and find out? I want to know so much; for I can't go to work with any heart until I learn whether I am to have my reward in the end or not.' ¡¡¡¡`I'm too young,' faltered Meg, wondering why she was so fluttered, yet rather enjoying it. ¡¡¡¡`I'll wait; and in the meantime, you could be l

earning to like me. Would it be a very hard lesson, dear?' ¡¡¡¡`Not if I chose to learn it, but--' ¡¡¡¡`Please choose to learn, Meg. I love to teach, and this is easier than German,' broke in John, getting possession of the other hand, so that she had no way of hiding her face, as he bent to look into it. ¡¡¡¡His tone was properly beseeching; but, stealing a shy look at him, Meg saw that his eyes were merry as well as tender, and that he wore the satisfied smile of one who had no doubt of his success. This nettled her; Annie Moffat's foolish lessons in coquetry came into her mind, and the love of power, which sleeps in the bosoms of the best of little women, woke up

girls. I dislike Mr. Davis's manner of teaching, and don't think the girls you associate with are doing you any good, so I shall ask your father's advice before I send you anywhere else.' ¡¡¡¡`That's good! I wish all the girls would leave, and spoil his old school. It's perfectly maddening to think of those lovely limes,' sighed Amy, with the air of a martyr. ¡¡¡¡`I am not sorry you lost them, for you broke the rules, and deserved some punishment for disobedience,' was the severe reply, which rather disappointed the young lady, who expected nothing but sympathy. ¡¡¡¡`D

o you mean you are glad I was disgraced before the whole school?' cried Amy. ¡¡¡¡`I should not have chosen that way of mending a fault,' replied her mother; `but I'm not sure that it won't do you more good than a milder method. You are getting to be rather conceited, my dear, and it is quite time you set about correcting it. You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.'

The Colonel perused this with great satisfaction. "Capital!"he said."Just the thing!You've made it difficult -and seeminglyirrelevant -absolutely the authentic touch!By the way,it seems to me there areone or two noticeable omissions.But that,I suppose,is what you tempt the mugwith?" Poirot's eyes twinkled a little,but he did not answer.

He contrived to escape from the dragoman's eloquence.Then he took his listto Colonel Carbury,whom he found in his office. Carbury pushed his tie a little more askew and asked: "Got anything?" Poirot said: "Shall I tell you a theory of mine?" "If you like,"said Colonel Carbury and sighed.One way and another he heard agood many theories in the course of his existence. "My theory is that criminology is the easiest science in the world!One hasonly to let the criminal talk -sooner or later he will tell you everything." "I remember you said something of the king before.Who's been telling

youthings?" "Everybody,"Briefly,Poirot retailed the interviews he had had that morning. "H'm,"said Carbury."Yes,you've got hold of a pointer or two,perhaps.Pity ofit is they all seem to point in opposite directions.Have we got a case,that'swhat I want to know?" "No." Carbury sighed again."I was afraid not." "But before nightfall,"said Poirot,"you shall have the truth!" "Well,that's all you ever promised me,"said Colonel Carbury."And I ratherdoubted you getting that!Sure of it?"

Carol hesitated. "I don't think she wanted to do that very much,but she didn't reallymind.Then,later,she wanted to go away -with Lennox,of course -" "But they didn't go?"asked Sarah. "No,mother wouldn't hear of it." Carol paused,and then said: "I don't think -she likes Nadine any longer.Nadine is -funny.You never knowwhat she's thinking.She tries to help Jinny and mother doesn't like it." "jinny is your youngest sister?" "Yes.Ginevra is her real name." "Is she -unhappy,too?" carol shook her head doubtfully. "Jinny's been very queer lately.I don't understand her.You see,she's always

¡¡¡¡But Mrs. Micawber having, in the strength of her emotions, fainted away, the first thing to be done, even before the chorus could be considered complete, was to recover her. This my aunt and Mr. Micawber did; and then my aunt was introduced, and Mrs. Micawber recognized me. ¡¡¡¡'Excuse me, dear Mr. Copperfield,' said the poor lady, giving me her hand, 'but I am not strong; and the removal of the late misunderstanding between Mr. Micawber and myself was at first too much for me.' ¡¡¡¡'Is this all your family, ma'am?' said my aunt. ¡¡¡¡'There are no more at present,' returned Mrs. Micawber. ¡¡¡¡'Good gracious,

I didn't mean that, ma'am,' said my aunt. 'I mean, are all these yours?' ¡¡¡¡'Madam,' replied Mr. Micawber, 'it is a true bill.' ¡¡¡¡'And that eldest young gentleman, now,' said my aunt, musing, 'what has he been brought up to?' ¡¡¡¡'It was my hope when I came here,' said Mr. Micawber, 'to have got Wilkins into the Church: or perhaps I shall express my meaning more strictly, if I say the Choir. But there was no vacancy for a tenor in the venerable Pile for which this city is so justly eminent; and he has - in short, he has contracted a habit of singing in public-houses, rather than in sacred edifices.'

The gentlemen?"
"Yes. Big family it was. The eldest, Mr. Edmund, he was killed in the war. Then there's Mr. Cedric, he lives abroad somewhere. He's not married. Paints pictures in foreign parts. Mr. Harold's in the city, lives in London – married an earl's daughter. Then there's Mr. Alfred, he's got a nice way with him, but he's a bit of a black sheep, been in trouble once or twice – and there's Miss Edith's husband, Mr. Bryan, ever so nice, he is - she died some years ago, but he's always stayed one of the family, and there's Master Alexander, Miss Edith's little boy. He's at school, comes here for part of the holidays always; Miss Emma's terribly set on him."

Lucy digested all this information, continuing to press tea on her information. Finally, reluctantly, Mrs. Kidder rose to her feet.
"Seem to have got along a treat, we do, this morning, she said wonderingly. Want me to give you a hand with the potatoes, dear?"
"They're all done ready."
"Well, you are a one for getting on with things! I might as well be getting along myself as there doesn't seem anything else to do."

   With what indignation such a letter as this must be read by Miss Dashwood may be imagined. Though aware before she began it, that it must bring a confession of his inconstancy, and confirm their separation for ever, she was not aware that such language could be suffered to announce it; nor could she have supposed Willoughby capable of departing so far from the appearance of every honourable and delicate feeling- so far from the common decorum of a gentleman- as to send a letter so impudently cruel: a letter which, instead of bringing with his desire of a release any professions of regret, acknowledged no breach of faith, denied all peculiar affection whatever;- a letter of which every line was an insult, and which proclaimed its writer to be deep in hardened villany.   
oil paintingShe paused over it for some time with indignant astonishment; then read it again and again; but every perusal only served to increase her abhorrence of the man; and so bitter were her feelings against him, that she dared not trust herself to speak, lest she might wound Marianne still deeper, by treating their disengagement

¡¡¡¡ Unable to be harsh with her, and not knowing what to do, Jude called the man who let the lodgings, and said this was an acquaintance of his in great distress for want of temporary shelter. ¡¡¡¡ "You may remember me as barmaid at the Lamb and Flag formerly?" spoke up Arabella. "My father has insulted me this afternoon, and I've left him, though without a penny!" ¡¡¡¡ The householder said he could not recall her features. "But still, if you are a friend of Mr. Fawley's we'll do what we can for a day or two-- if he'll make himself answerable?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes, yes," said Jude. "She has really taken me quite unawares; but I should wish to help her out of her difficulty." And an arrangement was ultimately come to under which a bed was to be thrown down in Jude's lumber
oil painting-room, to make it comfortable for Arabella till she could get out of the strait she was in--not by her own fault, as she declared--and return to her father's again. ¡¡¡¡ While they were waiting for this to be done Arabella said: "You know the news, I suppose?" "I guess what you mean; but I know nothing." ¡¡¡¡ "I had a letter from Anny at Alfredston to-day. She had just heard that the wedding was to be yesterday: but she didn't know if it had come off." ¡¡¡¡ "I don't wish to talk of it." ¡¡¡¡ "No, no: of course you don't. Only it shows what kind of woman----" ¡¡¡¡ "Don't speak of her I say! She's a fool! And she's an angel, too, poor dear!" ¡¡¡¡ "If it's done, he'll have a chance of getting back to his old position, by everybody's account, so Anny says. All his well-wishers will be pleased, including the bishop himself." ¡¡¡¡ "Do spare me, Arabella."
