All Mrs.Hamilton's business is in his hands, and it is generally thought that he will receive a handsome legacy from her eventually.

Mrs.Barclay prefers to live in Pentonville, but Ben often visits her.

Whenever he goes to Pentonville he never fails to call on Rose Gardiner, now a beautiful young lady of marriageable age.

She has lost none of her partiality for Ben, and it is generally understood that they are engaged.

I have reason to think that the rumor is correct and that Rose will change her name to Barclay within a year.
