Even in the noble game of billiards he could hold his own after a few days' play with his cousins and their revered pastor.

His grandfather loved the game, and had over from Europe one of the very few tables which existed in his Majesty's province of Virginia.

Nor, though Mr.Will could beat him at the commencement, could he get undue odds out of the young gamester.

After their first bet, Harry was on his guard with Mr.Will, and cousin William owned, not without respect, that the American was his match in most things, and his better in many.

But though Harry played so well that he could beat the parson, and soon was the equal of Will, who of course could beat both the girls, how came it, that in the contests with these, especially with one of them, Mr.Warrington frequently came off second?
He was profoundly courteous to every being who wore a petticoat; nor has that traditional politeness yet left his country.
