On arriving home, she entered the room where Mr. Lefort was, and re peated the message of the rector. Surpnse and passion were visible in Lefort's countenance - he turned deadly pale, and for a while could not utter a word. At last snatching up his hat and his cane, he descended the 'stairs, and turning round to the terrified females Yours is vil lany, he exclaimed, for which you shall have to account. [will have my nephew, I am his natural protector, and shall apply to the proper quarter for him - and with this he hurried out of the house, followed by his servant.
