"Father, dear father!" cried Viviana, hastily, "I was about to warn you; but I have not time to do so now.

Mr.Catesby is anxious to league you with it.

Do not--do not yield to his solicitations!" "Fear nothing on that score, Viviana," replied Sir William, "I have already perplexities enow, without adding to them." "I will leave you, then," she replied.

And, as soon as the others came up, she made some excuse for withdrawing, and returned to the house.
