Your poor father told you quite right,' said Mr. Collett. 4 Fred Sutton was a man of talent—a capital fellow. His only fault was a natural inability to keep a farthing in his pocket. Poor Fred! he loved me—l'm sure he did. He bequeath ed me his only child, and it isn't every friend would do that.' • A kind and generous protector you have been.' Well, I don't know ; I've tried not to be a brute, but I dare say I have been.— Don't I speak roughly to you sometimes`?

Haven't I two nephews'?.Why couldn't 'you fall in love with the discreet one--the thrivina one ?
