I ought to have called on them before, considering that I did so much in getting them established in Thorbury,--I am sure Mrs.Brinkly would not have taken them if I had not talked her into it,--but one thing and another has prevented my going there.

But I have seen Miss Drane; I came to town yesterday in the Witton carriage, and saw her in the street.

She is certainly a pretty little thing, and dresses with much taste.

We all thought her face was very sweet and attractive.

We had a good look at her, for she was waiting for our carriage to pass, in order to cross the street.
