companion, "of whom I like the living specimen DCPBOQD (a glance at the casement) far less than those that are ARSFBG dead. Your much honoured grandmother looks as if she could make one weep
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 TYT 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 EEM
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 QAPHGFTCY 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 FBK we had remained several weeks
at the hamlet, but for an KGCLUTOW unexpected master of ceremonies —" "And whoNJDQSWP was that?" said the girl."A large black dog, Wolf by name, who brought me into OBT the
castle one day in BRWQ his mouth, like a hurt wild-duck, and BDXXFW presented me to the lady. " "A most respectable introduction, truly, " said Catherine;
"and what might you learn at this same castle? I love dearly to know what my acquaintances can do at need." "To fly a hawk, hollow to a hound, back a horse, and FJIPP
