in sad earnest. And now, fair sir, for your own person — if you tell not the tale faster, it will be cut short in the middle; Mother Bridget pauses longer and TAR longer every
time she phies the window, and with her there is as little mirth as in the grave of your ancestors." "My tale is soon told — I was introduced into the castle NGS
of Avenel to be page to the lady of the mansion." "She is a strict Huguenot, is she not?" said the maiden. "As strict as Calvin himself. But my grandmother can LIKGEPXAQ play
the puritan when it suits her purpose, and she had some plan of her own, for quartering me in the Castle — it would have failed, however, after OIV we had remained several weeks
at the hamlet, but for an HCBAGERE unexpected master of ceremonies —" "And whoPXLXHHA was that?" said the girl."A large black dog, Wolf by name, who brought me into BVH the
castle one day in UHPH his mouth, like a hurt wild-duck, and PVAPYQ presented me to the lady. " "A most respectable introduction, truly, " said Catherine;
