"We will step over to that arbor by the garden.

We shall be quite comfortable and secluded there.

This is the place," said Junius, as they seated themselves in the arbor, "where, when a boy, I used to come to smoke.

My aunt did not allow this diversion, but I managed to do a good deal of puffing before I was found out." "Then you used to live here ?" asked Croft.
"Oh, yes," said Keswick, "my parents died when I was quite a little fellow, and my aunt had charge of me until I had grown up." "Was that your aunt whom I met at the gate?
There was something about her bearing and general appearance which greatly interested me." "She is a most estimable lady," returned Junius.

And not wishing further to discuss his relative, he added: "And now, what is it, sir, that I can have the pleasure of doing for you ?" "The matter regards Miss March," said Croft.
"I presumed so," remarked the other.
