Mr Chainmail

could find no trace of the

Captain. He Indeed he

sought him but in one

direction which was that

leading to the farm: where

he arrived in due time and

found Miss Susan alone.

He laid the newspaper on

the table as was his custom

and proceeded to converse

with the young lady: a

conversation of many pauses

as much of signs as of

words. The young lady

took up the paper and

turned it over and over

while she listened to Mr

Chainmail whom she found

every day more and more

agreeable when suddenly

her eye glanced on a passage

something which made her

change colour and dropping [page break]

on

the paper from on the ground

she star rose from her

seat exclaiming: It is

not yet too “Miserable must

she be who trusts any of

your faithless sex. = Never

never never will I endure

such misery twice.” And

she vanished up the stairs

Mr Chainmail was petrified

At length he exclaimed cried

aloud: Cornelius Agrippa

must have laid up a spell

on this accursed newspaper

and was turning out it over

to look for the source of

the mischief when Mrs

Llymry

Ap – Flummery made her

appearance.
