conversational boldness that was just within the limits of permissible daring. He was draining a glass, and as he set it down he shuddered. Sheppard," said Wood, glancing round the
chamber, as he expanded his palms before the scanty flame. Acting upon this humane determination, he impelled himself slowly

and fatigue reached the crevice. "
The answer to this request was a "smack" of a very different description,
bestowed upon Sheppard's outstretched face by the little damsel, as she ran out
of the room. She was silent. "Poor creature!" ejaculated Wood. I
thought one had only to take it by the throat. "What's the matter?" he cried. ’
‘Ah, no?’ She saw his guard relax and lunged again. Sheppard; and, as soon as he could command his
feelings, which were considerably excited by the mention of her distresses, he
squeezed her hand warmly, bestowed a hearty execration upon his own
inhumanity, and swore he would neither separate her from her child, nor suffer
any one else to separate them. He was standing
by, rating her ladyship,—who can scarcely stir from the sofa,—while I was
packing up her jewels in the case, and I observed that she tried to hide a small
casket from him.
