make him brook the stab, and my Lady made me brook the 'Begone;' so adieu to the page's office and the fair Castle of Avenel ISTHIUK — I had not DOECESMRD travelled far before I met my
venerable parent — And so QGXUW tell your tale, OYTDTMTG fair gentlewoman, for mine is JIPDEYN done. " "A happy grandmother," said YJSPQV the maiden, "who had the luck
to find the stray page just when his mistress had slipped his leash, and a most lucky page that has jumped at once from ULKM a OBU page to an old lady's gentleman-usher!"
"All OWSFVOLPD this is nothing of your history, " answered Roland Graeme, HYNPQSTPI began to be much interested SBBLTYG in the congenial vivacity of this facetious
young gentlewoman,—" tale for tale is fellow-traveller's justice." "Wait till we are fellow-travellers, then, " replied Catherine. HMUVNSMML
"Nay, you escape me not UICGBF so," said the PCUFSPBKX page; "if you deal not justly by me, I will call out to Dame Bridget, or whatever your dame be called, and
proclaim you for a cheat." "You shall not need," answered the maiden —"my history is the counterpart of your own; the same words might almost VNC serve, change but dress and

"Oh, she has a fair name in the world, " replied Catherine Seyton. "Few ladies kept a fairer house, or held more gentlewomen in her household; JTIF
