 disappointed; well she knew such a discovery would wound him to the soul.

"And, Oh! (she cried) to add sorrow to his sorrow, to increase his misery already too oppressive, would be indeed to aggravate my own."

At the entrance of the valley, in which the cottage of her father stood, she alighted and desired Lubin to lead the horses after her.

Had her mind been less disturbed than it now was, she would have been enraptured with the lovely prospect she beheld: it was the autumnal season, and the promise of the spring was amply fulfilled by the luxuriance of the harvest; the grapes she had left in embryo, were now ripened into purple clusters, and the toils of the vintage had already commenced; a profusion of gay flowers enameled the bright sword of the valley, and the yellow mantle of Ceres covered the little vales that intersected many of the hills, and

 o'er the waving woods that hung upon those hills soft and solemn tints were just beginning to steal.

Madeline reached the valley when the sun had attained its meridian, an hour when the cattle lay pensively ruminating, and

"The children of industry have had their hopes amply fulfilled, (cried Madeline, as she cast her eyes around) mine, she sighed, mine, when I left this place, were, though different, as flattering as their's."

 To describe her feelings when she came in sight of her beloved cottage would be impossible; they were such as almost swelled her heart to bursting; pain and pleasure were so intermingled, that it would have been hard to determine which was predominant. Her pleasure at the idea of beholding her father was damped by reflecting in how very different a manner she expected to have returned to him. She stopped at the little gate which opened into the grove, and leaned upon it, in order to try and gain some composure 'ere she should appear before him: old Bijou, the house dog, who lay slumbering beside it, woke at her approach, and instantly set up a cry of joy, which denoted his perfect recollection of her; as she patted his head, she endeavoured to quiet him, but without effect: the noise he made disturbed Jaqueline at her work, and excited her curiosity.

"What is the matter, you noisy rogue?

 (said she, coming from the cottage) what possesses you, Bijou, to keep such a barking?"

She approached the gate, stopped, screamed, and retreated—then again advanced—again retreated: at last she exclaimed,

"If you do not wish to deprive me of my senses, you will at once tell me whether or not you are Mademoiselle Madeline?"

"Do you doubt your eyes," cried Madeline, stretching out her hand.

Jaqueline instantly pulled open the gate, but instead of taking the proffered hand of Madeline, she clasped her arms about her, and for some minutes by her caresses prevented her from speaking.

"Is my father well?" at last asked Madeline, disengaging herself from the enraptured Jaqueline.

"Yes, Mademoiselle, very well; but how did you travel?—Bless me, looking over the

"Is my father within?" asked Madeline, not attending to this question.

"No, he is in the vineyard; I will run and inform him of your arrival."

"Do not be too precipitate, (said Madeline) break it to him by degrees for he does not expect me."

To practise any caution, however, was totally out of the power of Jaqueline; she flew to the vineyard; and Madeline all the way heard her exclaiming,

"She is come, she is come—O, Monsieur, Mademoiselle Madeline is come."

Madeline entered the parlour, she sat down, and tried to compose herself against the approaching interview; but she tried in vain. In a few minutes she heard the voice of her father; her heart throbbed as if it would burst her bosom: she rose, but had not power to meet him. Pale, disordered

 he rushed into the room, and Madeline sunk almost fainting into his extended arms.

It was some time 'ere either of them could speak. Clermont at last raised his eyes,

"Do I again behold you, my child, my Madeline, (he exclaimed) welcome, thrice welcome to my arms."

He held her to a distance from him; he gazed upon her; the alteration in her looks seemed to strike him to the very heart: the rose that had bloomed upon her cheek when they parted,—the lustre that had brightened her eye was fled, and sadness had taken entire possession of her.

"Oh! my child, (said he, looking mournfully at her) I fear, I fear, you have too bitterly lamented the death of our inestimable friend."

Madeline burst into tears.

 "Our loss (resumed Clermont) is great indeed, but our grief is selfish: death to her was a removal to unutterable felicity; stem therefore these strong emotions in pity to me, check them, remember you are my only earthly consolation, the only prop I have to rest on."

"Alas! (sighed Madeline) how frail a prop!" She took his hand, she pressed it to her lips. "My father (she said) be assured no effort on my part shall be wanting to fulfil your expectations, and heaven I doubt not will strengthen the feeble hands and calm the agitated mind of her who prays to it for fortitude and composure to be enabled to perform its incumbent duties."

"Yes, my child, (cried Clermont embracing her) heaven always assists the virtuous."

He now inquired to what circumstance he owed her unexpected return, as in her last letter she had given no intimation of it. Madeline, without entering into the particulars

 of her late situation at the chateau, briefly informed him, that as soon as D'Alembert came to it, Madame D'Alembert wished her to leave it, and had promised in a few days to assign her reason for that wish.

Clermont was all astonishment; but as he could not possibly fathom the mystery, he endeavoured to turn his thoughts from it. Madeline was still too much agitated to be able to inform him of her adventures at Montmorenci castle, but she determined to devote the first minutes of returning composure to that purpose, deeming it highly necessary for him to be acquainted with them as soon as possible.

Her mind was a little relieved from the uneasiness that oppressed it by finding him silent respecting de Sevignie; yet while she rejoiced she wondered at that silence till she reflected that the Countess had promised never to acquaint him with the renewed attentions of de Sevignie, except they were

 terminated in a manner that she knew must be pleasing to him.

But though the Countess had kept her promise, though Clermont was silent respecting de Sevignie, his mind was occupied in thinking of him; he could not believe that the deep dejection of his daughter was owing solely to the death of her friend, as his words, from regard to her delicacy had intimated: to the disappointment of her hopes relative to de Sevignie he was convinced it was principally owing, and with anguish intolerable he looked upon this drooping blossom, whose fair promise of maturity seemed now utterly at an end.

"But a few days ago, (he cried to himself) and, from the recollection of former calamities, I thought I could not be more wretched than I then was: but, alas! I now find I was mistaken—now, when I behold the sole solace of affliction, my only earthly hope, sinking beneath a grief which seems

 bending her gentle head to swift decay. Oh! gracious heaven, if my child is destined to an early grave, close these sad eyes 'ere that destiny be accomplished."

He wished to have the sorrows of her heart acknowledged to him; the acknowledgment would give him a right to offer his sympathy and counsel: and the sympathy, the counsel of a parent, might perhaps, he thought, be efficacious. But though he wished such a divulgement, he would not desire it, well knowing the delicacy of the female mind, and how unwillingly it must confess a hopeless passion.

20 no respect from a vigorous annual leaf-branch. It bears linear leaves, of the usual form, each of which has a leaf-bud in its axil. These leaf-buds are subglobose or ovate, and are covered by brown scales (nieder blätter). The two lowest of these scales, which are the most important as respects the true morphological structure of the cone-scale, stand right and left, as in most plants. These are the leaves commonly called the cotyledons of the branches. In these elongated cones there is generally no passage from the woody (seed-bearing) scales of the cone to the leaf-buds. Although I have examined more than 100 such scales, I have met with but few intermediate states explanatory of the true nature of the woody scales. In such intermediate states the cone is not, as usual, shortly ovate, but oblong, and attenuated at the tip, and the woody scales are a little emarginate at the apex. In the scales which appear to pass into the leaf-buds this emargination becomes by degrees more and more deep, till at last, near the summit of the cone, where they are more laxly imbricated, the woody scales are divided, almost to the base, into two obovate or ovate lobes, which are rounded at the apex, or a little mucronate, and are made inæquilateral, by an indentation on the outer side, below the apex. Each of these lobes bears on its inner and upper side, towards the lower margin, the ovate-globose rudiment of an abortive bud. Between the main axis and the bipartite scale I could see no bud. Further up on the axis the intermediate forms are further advanced. The scale is completely bipartite, and the segments are smaller, oblong, subtrapezoidal, obliquely truncate above, with rounded angles, and often wider upwards. As these scales present not even a trace of an ovule, they can no longer, with propriety, be called carpels; but it is most important to observe, that, between their segments and the axis, a leaf-bearing bud, covered with scale-like leaves, is developed. Still higher up on the axis the segments of the woody scale are smaller and more distant from, one another, occupying, by degrees, a more and more lateral position with respect to the leafy bud developed between them and the axis, and approach gradually more and more in size, position, and shape to the two lateral scales of an ordinary leaf-bud, so as at last to pass completely into it.

It is thus clearly proved that the woody scale of the larch cone consists of the first two lateral scales (squamiform leaves) of an undeveloped leaf-bud placed in the axil of the bract which supports the woody scale, these two lateral scales springing in a united state from the outer side of the axis and ascending obliquely. This structure of the woody scale of the larch cone, and consequently of all Abietineæ, is so clearly and irrefutably shown by these monsters, that all other opinions on the morphology of the scales of Conifers are thereby demonstrated to be erroneous.

22 the exterior envelope appear first and the central swelling later, the body is a pistil, because the carpel always appears earlier than the ovule.

This mode of discovering the nature of the parts fails only in cases where a single ovule appears to be a direct continuation of the axis, as in Rheum,Polygonum, &c. because in these cases it is impossible to decide upon the instant of time at which the apex of the axis becomes changed into the nascent ovule or its nucleus, Baillon,indeed, mentions that the ovules of Conifers arise from the axis; but if the contrary view be established, the test of priority of origin may certainly be applied to the determination of the nature of the different parts of the organ under consideration.

Early in January, 1861, I examined, for the purpose of testing M. Baillon's statement, the female flowers of Thuja orientalis L., Taxus baccata L., Cupressus sempervirens L., Callitris montana, Juniperus communis L., J. sphærica Lindl., J. Sabina L., J. virginiana L., and Pinus Larix L. The climate of Regensburg not being hot enough to enable Gingko biloba, Phyllocladus or Torreya to flower, even in the greenhouse, I regret not to have had it in my power to examine more than a very few of the species on which M. Baillon's observations were made.

With the exception of the Larch, the flowers of all the plants which I examined were almost fully, or at least half, developed; but even in this state of advancement I was led to doubt the accuracy of M. Baillon's statement, that the outer covering (or integument of authors) consists of two carpels. For when two carpels are present, two separate apices (styles, Baillon calls them,) may be expected to be visible; and, in fact, all Baillon's figures of the adult organs in question show two lobes or spices, as in the figure of Pinus resinosa t. i. f. 23, &c., Thuja orientalis, t. ii. f. 17, Cupressus sempervirens,t. ii. f. 20, 21, Phyllocladus rhomhoidalis, t. ii. f. 24, Taxus baccata, t. ii. f. 14, 16. Except, however, in the Yew, in which I found the micropyle to present the appearance of an arched or more rarely straight fissure, the ends of which are opposite to the two highest leaf-scales (bracts), the margin of the organ in question (Baillion's pistillum) was not, in the plants I examined by any means constantly two-lobed, and in the Jumpers I never observed it to be so. The margin of the "pistillum" of Juniperus sphaerica, which appeared fully developed, was invariably entire, and formed by a circle of ten or eleven cells. In the other species of Juniper it was generally obliquely truncate, and in the same species, nay even in the same specimen, it was at one time irregularly sinuate or repand or toothed, at another emarginate on one side or perfectly entire. In Callitris montana the orifice was very wide and surrounded by about twenty cells, and its margin was either irregular or repand, or 3-4-toothed, or quite entire. I never saw it two-lobed. In Thuja orientalis and Cupressus sempervirens, in which Baillon always figures it as two-lobed, I found it occasionally so, but more frequently the orifice was irregularly sinuate or

24 other. This I have noticed in Berteroa incana and Tklaspi arvensis, in whose ovules the lower part of the cylindrical nucleus is thicker than the upper, and the two integuments arise seemingly both at once from the lower thickened part, at one time all round and at the same height, at another time unilaterally. As in these cases, true ovule-coats are developed on one side first, and not equally all round, it does not seem unfair to infer the possibility of their appearance in two distinct places or by two gibbi. The alternation of the two lips of the ovule-coat of Taxus, with the two uppermost bracts, may be understood to depend on the existence of more ample room for development on the two sides where there are no bracts, than on the other two, where the bracts come in contact with the ovule. It is well known, that organs increase most in size and vigour in those parts which are free and not interfered with by other organs, while they are weaker and smaller, where they are pressed on by neighbouring organs and deprived of nutriment. In the Abietineæ this may be the cause of the bilobation of the ovule-coat, as the two teeth in Abies excelsa, for instance, are on those sides of the ovule which are not pressed on either by the axis or the scale.

The second part of Baillon's proposition, regarding the flowers of Conifers, is that they always arise from the axis and never from a leaf or bract, or rather carpel. This is shown to be erroneous as to Abietineæ, at least by the monstrous larch described above. It is also excellently refuted by Baillon and Payer's own observations on Pinus resinosa. As described by Baillon, the scales of Pinus resinosa are developed in the following manner. The scale appears first as a small, dorsally compressed, broad boss in the axil of the bract. From the first boss spring three others, one central and two lateral The lateral bosses become broader, assume the form of auricles, cohere externally, and, increasing mainly in width, are gradually converted into an obliquely ascending lamina, the scale itself, which bears a little above the middle in the median line, the subcentral boss, "the organic apex of the axis," which axis produces no more appendages, increases very little in size, and in the adult state, presents the form of a hook bent inwards and downwards. On the upper surface of the lateral wings, towards their lower margin, which is turned towards the primary axis, the ovules are, according to Baillon, produced at a later period.

From this description it is evident that three distinct organs, all differing in period oi origin, can be distinguished, each of which is developed from that immediately preceding it.

1. The axis which originates in the axil of the bract.

2. The ear-shaped organs, which spring laterally from this axis, and are called by Baillon the two lateral lobes. These ascend obliquely and form the greater part of the scale, but are so situated with respect to the minute axis, as manifestly to exhibit the character of appendicular organs. They form two nearly right angles with the ascending axis, and spread out laterally and almost horizontally,

Rh so that no one who has learned even the elements of morphological botany, can help recognising them as leaves, and as the primary and only leaves produced on the evanescent axis.

3. From the two lateral organs spring those third in order, namely, the ovules.

Now it is certainly wonderful, but it is not the less true, that Baillon and Payer, failing to distinguish the second organs (the lateral leaves) from the first, though Baillon's description is sufficiently accurate, have confounded both together, and considered them to be a single organ, called by Payer a flattened form of the peduncle; thus rashly following Schleiden, (who, more than twenty years before fell into the same mistake, of describing the axis and its primordial leaves as a simple axis), and Mirbel, who 46 years before confounded these three very distinct kinds of organs under the common name of peduncle.

Payer further says, that "this flattened form of peduncle does not surprise those who are aware of its existence in the branches of several plants, such as Ruscus, Xylohylla, Phyllocladus, &c." No one, however, but a tyro in morphology, would confound the scale of Pinus resinosa, on whose upper surface, almost in its middle, the growing point rises as the hooked apex of an evanescent axis, utterly distinct both in position and direction, from the morphological apex of the lamina of the proper scale, with the flattened branches of Ruscus, &c., whose withered growing point occupies the very apex of the lamina, and in which no trace oi appendicular organs is found below the growing point.

Baillon, in a somewhat impressive manner observes, after stating some opinions of others on the structure of the flowers of Conifers, that "the new modes of observation afforded by the study of organogeny, may with propriety be applied to the verification of these opinions." M. Ballion may learn, from the mistakes into which he has been led by the employment of a method which he and Payer alone imagine to be new, that the different grades of evolution of an organ, cannot be understood without an accurate knowledge of the nature of the axis and its appendages, and of the relations which exist between them. M. Baillon, however, hardly knows the elements of morphology. How, for instance, does it happen, that, at the present day, he uses the term alternate, which was thus applied a century ago, to describe the arrangement of the bracts of the female flowers of Conifers?

Dr. Lindley, who considers the scales of pine cones to be carpels, (that is, leaves), refers to a cone-like gall of Pinus abies, figured by Richard, which he mistakes for a cone, and in which he regards the scales as being changed into the form of the acicular leaves of Pinus abies. Baillon has been led by Lindley into the same mistake, of regarding this gall as a cone, and only differs from Lindley, so far, that he thinks it is not the scales but the bracts which are changed

Rh lobed, irregularly crenate, or even quite entire. Richard, too, thus describes the organs of certain Conifers, e.g. Pinus Cedrus, "margin unequally and irregularly cut into 2-5 segments, which are irregularly erose toothed or repand;" and Pinus balsamea, "limb longer on one side and slightly divided at the margin into two or three somewhat unequal lobes." These descriptions and figures throw still more doubt on the existence of Baillon's "two carpels." It was, however, in Pinus Larix, in which I fully studied the evolution of the cone-scales, that I acquired a complete conviction of Baillon's error. In this plant, what Baillon calls the ovule, appears first in the form of a convex, almost hemisphærical boss, around which, some weeks later, the integument is produced, not under the form of two distinct horseshoes, but of a complete ring, uniform in height all round. I tried in vain to find any indication of a double origin. It is impossible to consider the floral organ of Pinus Larix as anything else than a nucleus surrounded by an integument, that is, an ovule; and as it is incredible that the integument of Pinus Larix should, from the first, be a regular ring, while that of the other Conifers examined by M. Baillon presents, in its earliest condition, the appearance of two horse-shoes, the observations of MM. Baillon and Payer appear to me more than doubtful.

Were it however the case, that in some Conifers this integument originated as two distinct tubercles, it would by no means necessarily follow that these two tubercles indicate the presence of two organs of distinct origin, not referable to the integument of the gemmule. For:

1. Two-lipped integuments are occasionally met with, which no one regards as two distinct carpels. Thus in Polygala comosa the outer coat of the ovule is produced obliquely upwards and subcucullate, and is divided by a deep fissure into two lateral lobes. Payer makes no mention of these in Polygala speciosa, though he figures the ovule-coat of Tremandra verticillata as two-lipped, which is only the case at a late stage of the development of the ovule. The period at which the lips appear seems, however, of little consequence.

2. Other organs certainly exist, which, though single and not composed of two united together, do yet, at their first appearance, show two distinct apices, as, for instance, the stipules of Victoria regia and Euryale ferox, whose evolution I have examined, and the upper palea of grasses which Payer himself describes and figures in Briza media, Panicum aduncum, Triticum monococcum, Ehrkarta panicea and Stipa juncea.

3. There are certain ovules whose coats sometimes originate equally all round, while at other times, in the same species and even in the same ovary, they are visible on one side earlier than on the

 of the shanty. "But there's no light, and, of course, no supper, and I'm as hungry as a starved wolf;" he added.

Flag went into the shanty and threw down his kit, while Ed remained outside to picket his pony.

"I don't see what keeps Doe and Squire out so late, this evening," Flag remarked, coming up behind Ed so unexpectedly as to cause him to jump aside as he was driving a stake in the ground. "I believe I shall go up to the village and get my supper. What do you say to going along?"

I'm not hungry; but I'm tired, and I shall stay at home and go to bed."

"Very well; I wish you a good night's rest," and Flag turned away, half amused and half provoked at his messmate's surly humor.

It was near midnight when Flag returned, accompanied by Allen—other friends and citizens having volunteered to take charge of the body of Dr. Edwards. The night was beautifully light and warm. As the young men walked homeward, conversing on the events of the day, their imaginations became very naturally much excited, and enabled them to recall each and every past circumstance of their association with the deceased. These reminiscences had quite scared away all sleepfulness, and when they threw themselves upon the bed which they occupied in common, it was not to close their eyes, but only to relax their limbs, while they continued their talk.

"We ought to waken Ed, I suppose, and tell him about this affair," said Flag.

"No, not to-night," answered Squire, wearily. "I have had excitement enough for one day; and what's the use of spoiling his sleep, since he can sleep?"

"I heard a great deal about Newcome's daughter, in the village. Is she such a wonderful girl as the people make her out?"

"If you mean is she very intelligent and pretty for her station and parentage, yes. And very gentle and affectionate too, I should say. I wonder where she learned her ladylike ways."

"That's what the Fairview people talk about. The Judge's wife is very much taken with her, and is sorry she let the constable's wife carry her off."

"She has fallen into good hands, I think; but the poor girl was terribly broken down by her misfortunes. I happened to see her in the morning before we met her father, and she was as rosy and smiling as a young thing could be. But, after the mental struggle she had to go through with, and a couple of fainting-fits, she was very much changed."

"Her father must be a cruel and cowardly wretch, according to all accounts. Do you suppose there can be any doubt of its being he who shot the Doctor? I heard one man suggest that there was room for doubt in the case, notwithstanding the strong testimony against him."

"Well, of course, every thing admits of doubt which is not prov-

Rh Among these errors may be mentioned the opinion of M. Baillon, laid before the French Academy on the 9th July, 1860. Baillon, after examining the evolution of the flower of Taxus baecata L., Phyllocladus rhomhoidalis, Rich., Torreya nucifera, Lieb., Thuja, Pinus resinosa, Salisburia, Gingko, Sm., and Cupressus, arrived at the opinion that the organs which R. Brown regarded as naked ovules are flowers reduced to a pistil, formed of two carpels, and enclosing one orthotropous ovule reduced to a nucleus; and that these very simple flowers are never inserted on a leaf or "bract" (or rather "carpel"), but always on the axis, on which they are sometimes terminal and sometimes lateral; and further, that the cupule or aril of Taxineæ is a dilatation of the axis, "commonly called a disk."

Now what are the reasons which lead M. Baillon to regard the naked ovule of Robert Brown, and almost all recent botanists, as two united carpels? He states that the first developed part of the flower (or what is usually called naked ovule) of all Conifers consists of two small tubercles, opposite to one another, and shaped like a horse-shoe, exactly resembling the carpels of Amarantaceæ, Chenopodiaceæ, &c., in the first stage of evolution. From this resemblance, he regards these tubercles not as the integuments of an ovule, but as carpels, and states that their apices afterwards form two equal or unequal styles. The nucleus of the ovule, according to him, appears after these carpels. This period of evolution is described in detail in Pinus resinosa, and illustrated by figures. As regards that part of M. Baillon's opinion which relates to the more tardy appearance of that which he calls the ovule, his figures do not show it to be the case; but, on the contrary, in t. 1, f. 10, in which the earliest rudiments of the "carpels" are shown, the ovule is also represented, so that M. Baillon's words are contradicted by that figure. Baillon's statements regarding the evolution of the flower of Conifers are confirmed by M. Payer, who seems to have examined Pinus and Cupressus chiefly. Payer, however, speaks in such a manner of the time of appearance of the "ovule" and "pistil" that it is doubtful which of the two he considers to appear first; but whatever his opinion may be, he, at all events, does not confirm M. Baillon, for he says "the flower appears in Cypresses and Pines as a little protuberance, on each side of which arises a little ridge resembling exactly . . . . . a very young leaf"

The priority of origin of the outer covering (carpels of Baillon), or the central body (ovule of Baillon), should by no means be neglected, as its determination may assist in fixing the nature of both. For if the central protuberance appear first and the external envelope later, the central protuberance is an ovule, because the nucleus appears before the integument; but, on the other hand, if

structure of the female flower, or inflorescence, of Gymnosperms, has been the cause of more discussion than most questions of morphological botany. In earlier times, the views of botanists on this difficult subject were necessarily uncertain and arbitrary, because no accurate observations had then been made either of the perfect flower or of its evolution. As the study of morphology depends upon the correct knowledge of the taxis of the leaves and branches, the structure of the flowers of Gymnosperms could not possibly be understood at an earlier period. It is not my intention here to enter into details (which may be readily found elsewhere) reading the various explanations which have been proposed; but I think it desirable to state the plain truth as respects the group of Abietineæ, so as to correct previous errors, and to obtain a basis of comparison to which the flowers of other Gymnosperms may be referred.

The true structure of the flowers of Abietineæ was described by A. Braun, as early as 1853, in the following terms, in a note of great importance, though short and modest, which has been entirely neglected by subsequent writers. "The seed-bearing fruit-scales of the cones of Abietineæ, which lie in the axils of the bract-scales, have all the appearance of one-leaved shoots, but the progressive modifications of form exhibited by these scales in abnormally developed cones of Pinus Larix, prove that each scale consists of two leaves united together." In 1860 he expresses himself in a similar manner, only in more general terms, as to the structure of other Conifers and Cycads. The woody scales of the strobili of Abietineæ consist, according to A. Braun, of two carpels, which originate together, and are the first leaves of an undeveloped bud in the axil of the floral leaf

Before these views of Braun were known to me I was led to the same conclusions, at Bonn, in the autumn of 1858, by the examination of larch cones, which had grown out into leafy branches in the axils of the scale. My observations on these were to the following effect:—

Along the axis of these cones or strobili are inserted linear, elongated bracts, with the woody scales in their axils. The axis does not end with the uppermost scales, but is abnormally prolonged for several inches beyond the apex of the cone. Such strobili have been figured by Richard. The slender prolongation of the axis differs in

During this short dialogue, young Edwards had stood, an attentive listener, holding in his hand a fishing-rod, the day and the season having tempted him also to desert the house, for the pleasure of exercise in the air. As the equestrians turned through the gate, he approached the young maidens, who were already moving on to the gravelled walk that led to the street, and was about to address them, as Louisa paused, and said quickly—

"Here is Mr. Edwards, would speak to us, Elizabeth."

The other stopped also, and turned to the youth, politely, but with a slight coldness in her air, that sensibly checked the freedom with which the gentleman had approached them.

"Your father is not pleased that you should walk unattended in the hills, Miss Temple. If I might offer myself as a protector"—

"Does my father select Mr. Oliver Edwards as the organ of his displeasure?" interrupted the lady.

"Good Heaven! you misunderstood my meaning," cried the youth; "I should have said uneasy, for not pleased. I am his servant, madam, and in consequence yours. I repeat that, with your consent, I will change my rod for a fowling-piece, and keep nigh you on the mountain."

"I thank you, Mr. Edwards," returned Elizabeth, suffering one of her fascinating smiles to chase the trifling frown from her features; "but where there is no danger, no protection is required. We are not yet, sir, reduced to wandering among these free hills accompanied by a body guard. If such an one is necessary, there he is, however.—Here, Brave, Brave my noble Brave!"

202.1 Types of Registrations

The U.S. Copyright Office registers claims to copyright in works of authorship. As a general rule, the Office will issue one registration for each work that is submitted for registration. The Office will not issue separate registrations for the constituent elements or individual components of a work of authorship. Likewise, the Office will not issue separate registrations to each author who contributed copyrightable expression to the work.

The U.S. Copyright Office currently offers the following types of registrations:
 * Basic registrations. An application for a is used to register a copyright  in a work created or first  on or after January 1, 1978, and covers the full term of the copyright. This type of registration may be obtained with a Standard Application or a Single Application (provided certain eligibility requirements have been met). For a discussion of the Standard Application and Single Application, see  and.
 * Group registrations. An application for a is used to register a claim to copyright in a group of related works that qualify for a single registration. See 17 U.S.C. § 408(c)(2). For a detailed discussion of group registration, see.
 * Supplementary registration. An application for a may be used to correct or amplify the information in a basic or . 17 U.S.C. § 408(d). For a detailed discussion of supplementary registration, see.

 The huge mastiff that has been already mentioned, appeared from his kennel, gaping and stretching himself, with a pampered laziness; but as his mistress again called—"Come, dear Brave; once have you served your master well; let us see how you can do your duty by his daughter"—the dog wagged his tail, as if he understood her language, walked with a stately gait to her side, where he seated himself, and looked up at her face, with an intelligence but little inferior to that which beamed in her own lovely countenance.

She resumed her walk, but again paused, after a few steps, and added, in tones of conciliation—

"You can be serving us equally, and, I presume, more agreeably to yourself, Mr. Edwards, by bringing us a string of your favourite perch, for the dinner-table."

When they again begun to walk, Miss Temple did not look back, to see how the youth bore this repulse; but the head of Louisa was turned several times, before they reached the gate, on that considerate errand.

"I am afraid, Elizabeth," she said, "that we have mortified Oliver. He is still standing where we left him, leaning on his rod. Perhaps he thinks us proud."

"He thinks justly," exclaimed Miss Temple, as if awaking from a deep musing; "he thinks justly, then. We are too proud to admit of such particular attentions from a young man in an equivocal situation. What! make him the companion of our most private walks! It is pride, Louisa, but it is the pride of a woman."

It was several minutes before Oliver aroused himself from the abstracted position in which he was standing when Louisa last saw him; but when he did, he muttered something, rapidly and incoherently, and throwing his rod over his shoulder,

"No; it is a horse, who is making noise enough in the court for a whole squadron."

"However, he has demurred, you see; ’tis because there is something extraordinary in this matter. It is very possible that it was not François who was wrong in demurring, but you, who will be wrong in not listening to him."

 he strode down the walk, through the gate, and along one of the streets of the village, until he reached the lake-shore, with the air of an emperor. At this spot beats were kept, for the use of Judge Temple and his family. The young man threw himself into a light skiff, and seizing the oars, he sent it across the lake, towards the hut of Leather-stocking, with a pair of vigorous arms. By the time he had rowed a quarter of a mile, his reflections were less bitter; and when he saw the bushes that lined the shore in front of Natty's habitation gliding by him, as if they possessed the motion which proceeded from his own efforts, he was quite cooled in mind, though somewhat heated in' body. It is quite possible, that the very same reason which guided the conduct of Miss Temple, suggested itself to a man of the breeding and education of the youth; and it is very certain, that if such were the case, Elizabeth rose instead of falling in the estimation of Mr. Edwards.

The oars were now raised from the water, and the boat shot close into the land, where it lay gently agitated by waves of its own creating, while the young man, first casting a cautious and searching glance around him in every direction, put a small whistle to his mouth, and blew a long, shrill note, that rung far among the echoing rocks behind the hut. At this alarm, the bounds of Natty rushed out of their bark kennel, and commenced their long, piteous howls, leaping about as if half frantic, though restrained by the leashes of buck-skin, by which they were fastened.

"Quiet, Hector, quiet," said Oliver, again applying his whistle to his mouth, and drawing out notes still more shrill than before. No reply was made, the dogs having returned to their kennel at the sounds of his voice.

I am not by nature a commercial man myself, yet under her influence I found myself selling paraffin oil in cases in the Bights: and even to missionaries and Government officials travelling on her in between ports, she suggested the advisability of having out churches, houses, &c., in sections carefully marked with her name.

As we ran down the Irish Channel and into the Bay of Biscay, the weather was what the mariners termed "a bit fresh." Our craft was evidently a wet ship, either because she was nervous and femininely flurried when she saw a large wave coming, or, as I am myself inclined to believe, because of her insatiable mania for shipping cargo. Anyhow, she habitually sat down in the rise of those waves, whereby, from whatever motive, she managed to ship a good deal of the Atlantic Ocean in various sized sections.

Her saloon, as aforesaid, was aft, and I observed it was the duty, in order to keep it dry, of any one near the main door who might notice a ton or so of the fourth element coming aboard, to seize up three cocoa-fibre mats, shut three cabin doors and yell "Bill!" After doing this they were seemingly at full liberty to retire into the saloon and dam the Atlantic Ocean, and remark, "It's a dog's life at sea." I never noticed "Bill" come in answer to this performance, so I was getting to regard "Bill" as an invocation to a weather Ju Ju; but this was hasty, for one night in the Bay I was roused by a new noise, and on going into the saloon to see what it was, found the stewardess similarly engaged; mutually we discovered, in the dim light—she wasn't the boat to go and throw away money on electric—that it was the piano adrift of its dais, and we steered for it.

The fastenings were soon undone, and he entered, closing the door after him, when all was as silent, in that retired spot, as if the foot of man had never trod the wilderness. The sounds of the hammers, that were in incessant motion in the village, were faintly heard across the water; but the dogs had crouched into their lairs, well satisfied that none but the privileged had approached the forbidden ground.

A quarter of an hour elapsed before the youth re-appeared, when he fastened the door again and spoke kindly to the hounds. The dogs came out at the well-known tones, and the slut jumped up on his person, whining and barking, as if entreating Oliver to release her from her prison. But Old Hector raided his nose to the light current of air, and opened a long howl, that might have been heard for a mile.

"Ha! what do you scent, my old veteran of the woods?" cried Edwards. "If a beast, it is a bold one; and if a man, an impudent."

He sprung through the top of a pine, that had fallen near the side of the hut, and ascended a small hillock, that sheltered the cabin to the south, where he caught a glimpse of the formal figure of Hiram Doolittle, as it vanished with an unusual rapidity for the architect, amid the trees and bushes.

"What can that fellow be wanting here?" muttered Oliver. "He has no business in this quarter, unless it be his curiosity, which is an endemic in these woods. But against that I will effectually guard, though the dogs should take a liking to his ugly visage, and let him pass." The youth returned to the door, while giving vent to this soliloquy, and completed the fastenings, by placing

 rack over the table, whereby we got a bit messy and sticky about the hair and a trifle cut; nevertheless, undaunted we held our course and seized the instrument, instinctively shouting "Bill," and "Bill" came, in the form of a sandy-haired steward, amiable in nature and striking in costume.

After the first three or four days, a calm despair regarding the fate of my various lost belongings and myself having come on me, and the weather having moderated, I began to make observations on what manner of men my fellow-passengers were. I found only two species of the genus Coaster, the Government official and the trading Agent, were represented; so far we had no Missionaries. I decided to observe those species we had quietly, having heard awful accounts of them before leaving England, but to reserve final judgment on them until they had quite recovered from sea-sickness and had had a night ashore. Some of the Agents soon revived sufficiently to give copious information on the dangers and mortality of West Africa to those on board who were going down Coast for the first time, and the captain and doctor chipped in ever and anon with a particularly convincing tale of horror in support of their statements. This used to be the sort of thing. One of the Agents would look at the Captain during a meal-time, and say, "You remember J., Captain?" "Knew him well," says the Captain; "why I brought him out his last time, poor chap!" then follows full details of the pegging-out of J., and his funeral, &c. Then a Government official who had been out before, would kindly turn to a colleague out for the first time, and say, "Brought any dress clothes with you?" The unfortunate new comer, scenting an allusion to a more cheerful phase of Coast life, gladly answers in the affirmative.

 a small chain through a staple, and securing it there by a padlock. "He is a pettifogger, and surely must know that there is such a thing as feloniously breaking into a man's house."

Apparently well satisfied with this arrangement, the youth again spoke to the hounds; and, descending to the shore, he launched his boat, and taking up his oars, pulled off into the lake.

There were several places in the Otsego that were celebrated as fishing-ground for the perch. One was nearly opposite to the cabin, and another, still more famous, was near a point, at the distance of a mile and a half above it, under the brow of the mountain, and on the same side of the lake with the hut. Oliver Edwards pulled his little skiff over the first, and sat, for a minute, undecided whether to continue there, with his eyes on the door of the cabin, or to change his ground, with a view to get superior game. While gazing about him, he saw the light-coloured bark canoe of his old companions, riding on the water, at the point we have mentioned, and containing two figures, that he at once knew to be Mohegan and the Leather-stocking. This decided the matter, and the youth pulled his little boat, in a very few minutes, to the place where his friends were fishing, and fastened it to the light vessel of the Indian.

The old men received Oliver with welcoming nods of their heads, but neither drew his line from the water, nor, in the least, varied his occupation. When Edwards had secured his own boat, he baited his hook and threw it into the lake, without speaking.

"Did you stop at the wigwam, lad, as you rowed by?" asked Natty.

"Yes, and I found all safe; but that carpenter and justice of the peace, Mr. or, as they call him, Squire Doolittle, was prowling through the

 woods, nigh by. But I made sure of the door, before I left the hut. and I think he is too great a coward to approach the hounds."

"There's little to be said in favour of that man," said Natty, while he drew in a perch and baited his hook. "He craves dreadfully to come into the cabin, and has as good as asked me as much to my face; but I put him off with unsartain answers, so that he is no wiser than Solomon. This comes of having so many laws that such a man may he called on to interpret them."

"I fear he is more knave than fool," cried Edwards; "I see that he makes a tool of that simple man, the Sheriff, and I dread that his impertinent curiosity may yet give us much trouble."

"If he harbours too much about the cabin, lad, I'll shoot the creater," said the Leather-stocking, quite coolly.

"No, no. Natty, you must remember the law," said Edwards, "or we shall have you in trouble; and that, old man, would be an evil day, and sore tidings to us all."

"Would it, boy!" exclaimed the hunter, raising his eyes with a look of friendly interest towards the youth. "You have the true blood in your veins, Mr. Oliver, and I'll support it, to the face of Judge Temple, or in any court in the country. How is it, John? do I speak the true word? is the lad staunch, and of the right blood?"

"He is a Delaware," said Mohegan, "and my brother. The Young Eagle is brave, and he will be a chief. No harm can come."

"Well, well," cried the youth, impatiently; "say no more about it, my good friends; if I am not all that your partiality would make me, I am yours through life—in prosperity as in poverty, But now we will talk of other matters."

 "That's right," says the interlocutor; "you want them to wear at funerals. Do you know," he remarks, turning to another old Coaster, "my dress trousers did not get mouldy once last wet season."

"Get along," says his friend, "you can't hang a thing up twenty-four hours without its being fit to graze a cow on."

"Do you get anything else but fever down there?" asks a new comer, nervously.

"Haven't time as a general rule, but I have known some fellows get kraw kraw."

"And the Portuguese itch, abscesses, ulcers, the Guinea worm and the smallpox," observe the chorus calmly.

"Well," says the first answerer, kindly but regretfully, as if it pained him to admit this wealth of disease was denied his particular locality; "they are mostly on the South-west Coast." And then a gentleman says parasites are, as far as he knows, everywhere on the Coast, and some of them several yards long. "Do you remember poor C.?" says he to the Captain, who gives his usual answer, "Knew him well. Ah! poor chap, there was quite a quantity of him eaten away, inside and out, with parasites, and a quieter, better living man than C. there never was." "Never," says the chorus, sweeping away the hope that by taking care you may keep clear of such things—the new Coaster's great hope. "Where do you call—?" says a young victim consigned to that port. Some say it is on the South-west, but opinions differ, still the victim is left assured that it is just about the best place on the seaboard of the continent for a man to go to who wants to make himself into a sort of complete hospital course for a set of medical students.

This instruction of the young in the charms of Coast life is the faithfully discharged mission of the old Coasters

 The old hunters yielded to his wish, which seemed to be their law. For a short time a profound silence prevailed, during which each man was very busy with his hook and line; but Edwards, probably feeling that it remained with him to renew the discourse, soon observed, with the air of one who knew not what he said—

"How beautifully tranquil and glassy the lake is. Saw you it ever more calm and even than at this moment, Natty?"

"I have known the Otsego water for five-and-forty year," said Leather-stocking, "and I will say that for it, which is, that a cleaner spring or a better fishing is not to be found in the land. Yes, yes—I had the place to myself once; and a cheerful time I had of it. The game was as plenty as heart could wish, and there was none to meddle with the ground, unless there might have been a hunting party of the Delawares crossing the hills, or, maybe, a rifling scout of them thieves, the Iroquois. There was one or two Frenchmen that squatted in the flats, further west, and married squaws; and some of the Scotch-Irishers, from the Cherry Valley, would come on to the lake, and borrow my canoe, to take a mess of parch, or drop a line for a salmon-trout; but, in the main, it was a cheerful place, and I had but little to disturb me in it. John would come, and John knows."

Mohegan turned his dark face, at this appeal, and, moving bis hand forward with a graceful motion of assent, he spoke, using the Delaware language—

"The land was owned by my people: we gave it to my brother, in council—to the Fire-Eater; and what the Delawares give, lasts as long as the waters run. Hawk-eye smoked at that council, for we loved him."

 on steamboats, especially, as aforesaid, at meal times. Desperate victims sometimes determine to keep the conversation off fever, but to no avail. It is in the air you breath, mentally and physically; one will mention a lively and amusing work, some one cuts in and observes "Poor D. was found dead in bed at C. with that book alongside him." With all subjects it is the same. Keep clear of it in conversation, for even a half hour, you cannot. Far better is it for the young Coaster not to try, but just to collect all the anecdotes and information you can referring to it, and then lie low for a new Coaster of your own to tell them to, and when your own turn comes, as come it will if you haunt the West Coast long enough, to peg out and be poor so and so yourself. For goodness sake die somewhere where they haven't got the cemetery on a hill, because going up a hill in shirt collars, &c., will cause your mourners to peg out too, at least this is the lesson I was taught in that excellent West Coast school.

When, however, there is no new Coaster to instruct on hand, or he is tired for ten minutes of doing it, the old Coaster discourses with his fellow old Coasters on trade products and insects. Every attention should be given to him on these points. On trade products I will discourse elsewhere; but insects it is well that the new comer should know about before he sets foot on Africa. On some West Coast boats excellent training is afforded by the supply of cockroaches on board, and there is nothing like getting used to cockroaches early when your life is going to be spent on the Coast—but I need not detain you with them now, merely remarking that they have none of the modest reticence of the European variety. They are very companionable, seeking

 "No, no, John," said Natty, " I was no chief, seeing that I know'd nothing of scholarship, and had a white skin. But it was a comfortable hunting-ground then, lad, and would have been so to this day, but for the money of Marmaduke Temple, and, may be, the twisty ways of the law."

"It must have been a sight of melancholy pleasure, indeed," said Edwards, while his eye roved along the shores and over the hills, where the clearings, groaning with the golden corn, were cheering the forests with the signs of life, "to have roamed over these mountains, and along this sheet of beautiful water, without a living soul to speak to, or to thwart your humour."

"Haven't I said it was cheerful!" said Leather-stocking. "Yes, yes—when the trees begun to be kivered with the leaves, and the ice was out of the lake, it was a second paradise. I have travelled the woods for fifty-three year, and have made them my home for more than forty, and I can say that I have met but one place that was more to rny liking; and that was only to eyesight, and not for hunting or fishing."

"And where was that?" asked Edwards.

"Where! why up on the Cattskills. I used often to go up into the mountains after wolves' skins, and bears; once they bought me to get them a stuffed painter; and so I often went. There's a place in them hills that I used to climb to when I wanted to see the carryings on of the world, that would well pay any man for a barked shin or a torn moccasin. You know the Cattskills, lad, for you must have seen them on your left, as you followed the river up from York, looking as blue as a piece of clear sky, and holding the clouds on their tops, as the smoke curls over

 the head of an Indian chief at a council fire. Well, there's the High peak and the Round-top, which lay back, like a father and mother among their children, seeing they are far above all the other hills. But the place I mean is next to the river, where one of the ridges juts out a little from the rest, and where the rocks fall for the best part of a thousand feet, so much up and down, that a man standing on their edges is fool enough to think he can jump from top to bottom."

"What see you when you get there?" asked Edwards.

"Creation!" said Natty, dropping the end of his rod into the water, and sweeping one hand around him in a circle—"all creation, lad. I was on that hill when Vaughan burnt 'Sopus, in the last war, and I seen the vessels come out of the highlands as plain as I can see that lime scow rowing into the Susquehanna, though one was twenty times further from me than the other. The river was in sight for seventy miles, under my feet, looking like a curled shaving, though it was eight long miles to its banks. I saw the hills in the Hampshire grants, the high lands of the river, and all that God had done or man could do, as far as eye could reach—you know that the Indians named me for my sight, lad—and from the flat on the top of that mountain, I have often found the place where Albany stands; and as for 'Sopus! the day the royal troops burnt the town, the smoke seemed so nigh, that I thought I could hear the screeches of the women."

"It must have been worth the toil, to meet with such a glorious view!"

Rh "Wrong? I to be wrong before François? that seems rather hard."

"Pardon me, merely an irregularity. But I thought it my duty to make an observation which I deem important."

"Oh! perhaps you are right," stammered Baisemeaux. "The king's order is sacred; but as to orders that arrive when one is at supper, I repeat that the devil"

"If you had said as much to the great cardinal—hem! my dear Baisemeaux, and if his order had any importance."

"I do it that I may not disturb a bishop. Mordioux! am I not, then, excusable?"

"Do not forget, Baisemeaux, that I have worn the soldier's coat, and I am accustomed to see everywhere obedience."

"You wish, then."

"I wish that you should do your duty, my friend; yes, at least, before this soldier."

"’Tis mathematically true," exclaimed Baisemeaux. François still waited. "Let them send this order of the king's up to me," he repeated, recovering himself. And he added, in a low tone, "Do you know what it is? I will tell you something about as interesting as this. 'Beware of fire near the powder-magazine;' or, 'Look close after such a one, who is clever at escaping.' Ah! if you only knew, monsiegneur, how many times I have been suddenly awakened from the very sweetest and deepest slumber by messengers arriving at full gallop to tell me, or, rather, bring me a slip of paper containing these words: 'Monsieur de Baisemeaux, what news?' ’Tis clear enough that those who waste their time writing such orders have never slept in the Bastile. They would know better; the thickness of my walls, the vigilance of my officers, the number of rounds we go. But, indeed, what can you expect, monseigneur? It is their business to write and torment me when I am at rest, and to trouble me when I am happy," added Baisemeaux, bowing to Aramis. "Then let them do their business."

"And do you do yours," added the bishop, smiling.

François re-entered; Baisemeaux took from his hands the minister's order. He slowly undid it, and as slowly read it. Aramis pretended to be drinking, so as to be able to watch his host through the glass. Then, Baisemeaux having read it:

"What was I just saying?" he exclaimed.

"What is it?" asked the bishop.

"An order of release! There, now; excellent news, indeed to disturb us!"

 And ſo drineſſe is the worſt qualitie and ſlaieng, if it excéed, when it is not cleane put out by abundance of moiſture: but yet by hap it giueth life. For ſometime rumatike humours commeth to the ſpirituall parts, and ſtoppe the waies of the ſpirit, and bee in point to ſtifle the bodie. Then commeth drineſſe or drie medicines, and worketh and deſtroyeth ſuch humours, and openeth the waies of the ſpirit, and ſo the bodie that is as it were dead, hath liuing. Though drineſſe be néedfall in euery bodye that is made of Elementes, to waſt the ſuperfluitie of moiſture, and to coarte the ſame moyſture, and alſo to excite ſlacke heate: yet drines ſlayeth, and is the worſt qualytie, when it paſſeth the due proportion in bodies. For it is wont to gender in bodyes full euill ſickneſſes and hurtful, as the, and , and other ſuch euills, the which may ſcarcely be holpe by ſuccour of medicines. Alſo by conſuming & waſting of the humours of feeding it drieth the bodie, and draweth the ſkinne togethers, and maketh it riueled, and haſteth age, and maketh the bodie euill couloured and deformed, and is cauſe of inordinate thirſt. And maketh the organes the enterance into the ſtomarke, rough, and letteth the voice, and maketh it hoarſe, and ſpoileth the head of the haire, and maketh it bald, & draweth togethers, & maketh crooked the toes and fingers of the féete and hands: as it is ſéene in leporous men. This that is ſayde of the effects and properties of drineſſe is ſufficient at this time.

¶Of moiſture. Chap. 4.
iſture is an Element quality paſſiue, able to ſuffer, obedient to working and printing of the Actiue, & working qualities, and taketh ſodeinlye the working of heate and colde. Moiſture féedeth all bodies, and ſpecially the bodies that haue ſoules, and maketh them ware and growe, and keepeth them, and reſtoreth that which is left in the body. For by moyſture and heate all thinges be bread, as the Philoſopher ſayth, and things ingendered both nouriſheth and féedeth, as we ſee in rootes and ſeedes. For the graine that is put in the earth muſt firſt bée nouriſhed with moiſture of water and of aire, and be ſpread and opened abroade by kindly heate that is cloſed therein. And at the laſt by kindly working of heate, the moyſture béeing reſolued, ſendeth the more groſe and rarthlye partes thereof downewarde to the earth, the which parts the earth faketh within it ſelfe, and mixeth and quaileth them by heate that is therein. And tourneth them into the kinde of a root by conioyning of moiſture. And that moiſture of the roote left behinde, and ſo bread in the roote, the humour that it findeth, draweth into the earth lyke it ſelfe. And alſo it draweth by the drawing vertue of heat that is cloſed within. And when it hath ſo drawen, it turneth into the féeding thereof, as much as ſufficeth. And heate diſſolueth and dealeth, and maketh ſubtill that other part, that néedeth not to the féeding thereof. And the root ſendeth it vpward, and turneth it firſt into the ſubſtaunce of the chawing, and then into the ſubſtance of the ſtocke either ſtalke. And at the laſt into the ſubſtaunce of boughs & twigs, and leaues, and bloſſomes, and of fruit. And for moiſture it is the ſéeding and matter of all thing that liueth. It ſheweth that moiſture féedeth all thing that liueth, & is ioyned thereto: and moiſture by ſhedding of it ſelfe, maketh ſuch thinges waxe and grow in length, déepneſſe, breadth and thickneſſe. Alſo moyſture reſtoreth what is loſt in bodies that haue life and ſoule. For by heate working alwaie within and without, bodies be conſumed and waſted, & ſhuld baſtely and ſoone be deſtroyed: but if it were reſtored againe by moyſture. And therfore by cōtinual drawing to of moiſture is néedfull, that the reſtoring of what is loſt by continuaunce, the bodye may bée reſtored and ſaued. Alſo moyſture kéepeth and ſaueth theſe neather things that bée vnder the Moone. For by continuall gathering of beames and light in the ayre and earth, ſo great ſhoulde be bréeding of heate and of drineſſe that the ayre ſhoulde fall a fire, and burne the vtter ſide of the earth.

 "Towards whom?"

"I don't quite know."

"Naturally you don't. I'm afraid you mistake unscrupulousness for generosity."

Connie paused. Did she? It was just possible. Yet the unscrupulousness of Michaelis had a certain fascination for her. He went whole lengths where Clifford only crept a few timid paces. In his way he had conquered the world, which was what Clifford wanted to do. Ways and means ? Were those of Michaelis more despicable than those of Clifford? Was the way the poor outsider had shoved and bounced himself forward in person, and by the back doors, any worse than Clifford's way of advertising himself into prominence? The bitch-goddess, Success, was trailed by thousands of gasping dogs with lolling tongues. The one that got her first was the real dog among dogs, if you go by success! So Michaelis could keep his tail up.

The queer thing was, he didn't. He came back towards teatime with a large handful of violets and lilies, and the same hang-dog expression. Connie wondered sometimes if it were a sort of mask to disarm opposition, because it was almost too fixed. Was he really such a sad dog?

His sad-dog sort of extinguished self persisted all the evening, though through it Clifford felt the inner effrontery. Connie didn't feel it, perhaps because it was not directed against women; only against men, and their presumptions and assumptions. That indestructible, inward effrontery in the meagre fellow was what made men so down on Michaelis. His very presence was an affront to a man of society, cloak it as he might in an assumed good manner.

Connie was in love with him, but she managed to sit with her embroidery and let the men talk, and not give herself away. As for Michaelis, he was perfect; exactly the same melancholic, attentive, aloof young fellow of the previous evening, millions of degrees remote from his hosts, but laconically playing up to them to the required amount, and never coming forth to them for a moment. Connie felt he must have forgotten the morning. He had not forgotten. But he knew where he was in the same old place outside, where the born outsiders are. He didn't take the love-making altogether personally. He knew it would not change him

 from an ownerless dog, whom everybody begrudges its golden collar, into a comfortable society dog.

The final fact being that at the very bottom of his soul he was an outsider, and anti-social, and he accepted the fact inwardly, no matter how Bond-Streety he was on the outside. His isolation was a necessity to him; just as the appearance of conformity and mixing-in with the smart people was also a necessity.

But occasional love, as a comfort and soothing, was also a good thing, and he was not ungrateful. On the contrary, he was burningly, poignantly grateful for a piece of natural, spontaneous kindness: almost to tears. Beneath his pale, immobile, disillusioned face, his child's soul was sobbing with gratitude to the woman, and burning to come to her again; just as his outcast soul was knowing he would keep really clear of her.

He found an opportunity to say to her, as they were lighting the candles in the hall:

"May I come?"

"I'll come to you," she said.

"Oh good!"

He waited for her a long time but she came.

He was the trembling excited sort of lover, whose crisis soon came, and was finished. There was something curiously childlike and defenceless about his naked body: as children are naked. His defences were all in his wits and cunning, his very instincts of cunning, and when these were in abeyance he seemed doubly naked and like a child, of unfinished, tender flesh, and somehow struggling helplessly.

He roused in the woman a wild sort of compassion and yearning, and a wild, craving physical desire. The physical desire he did not satisfy in her; he was always come and finished so quickly, then shrinking down on her breast, and recovering somewhat his effrontery while she lay dazed, disappointed, lost.

But then she soon learnt to hold him, to keep him there inside her when his crisis was over. And there he was generous and curiously potent; he stayed firm inside her, given to her, while she was active wildly, passionately active, coming to her own crisis. And as he felt the frenzy of her achieving her own orgasmic satisfaction from his hard, erect passivity, he had a curious sense of pride and satisfaction.

 "Ah, how good!" she whispered tremulously, and she became quite still, clinging to him. And he lay there in his own isolation, but somehow proud.

He stayed that time only the three days, and to Clifford was exactly the same as on the first evening; to Connie also. There was no breaking down his external man.

He wrote to Connie with the same plaintive melancholy note as ever, Sometimes witty, and touched with a queer, sexless affection. A kind of hopeless affection he seemed to feel for her, and the essential remoteness remained the same. He was hopeless at the very core of him, and he wanted to be hopeless. He rather hated hope. "Une immense espérance à traversé la terre" he read somewhere, and his comment was: "—and it's darned-well drowned everything worth having."

Connie never really understood him, but, in her way, she loved him. And all the time she felt the reflection of his hopelessness in her. She couldn't quite, quite love in hopelessness. And he, being hopeless, couldn't ever quite love at all.

So they went on for quite a time, writing, and meeting occasionally in London. She still wanted the physical, sexual thrill she could get with him by her own activity, his little orgasm being over. And he still wanted to give it her. Which was enough to keep them connected.

And enough to give her a subtle sort of self-assurance, something blind and a little arrogant. It was an almost mechanical confidence in her own powers, and went with a great cheerfulness.

She was terrifically cheerful at Wragby. And she used all her aroused cheerfulness and satisfaction to stimulate Clifford, so that he wrote his best at this time, and was almost happy in his strange blind way. He really reaped the fruits of the sensual satisfaction she got out of Michaelis' male passivity erect inside her. But of course he never knew it, and if he had, he wouldn't have said thank-you!

Yet when those days of her grand joyful cheerfulness and stimulus were gone, quite gone, and she was depressed and irritable, how Clifford longed for them again! Perhaps if he'd known he might have wished to get her and Michaelis together again.
