Good morning, my dear Mrs Revel--good morning." "Good morning, my dear Mr Heaviside; it's very kind of you to call in this sociable way and chat an hour or two.

Good morning." The result of the above conversation was a consultation between Mr Revel and his wife upon their first meeting.

Mr Revel was delighted with the plan, not so much caring at the disposal of his daughters as he was pleased with the idea of annoying his uncle, from whom he, at one time, had great expectations; but, as it was necessary to be circumspect, especially with Isabel, Mr Revel took the opportunity of a subsequent visit to state that he had received a letter from his uncle in India, wishing one of his daughters to go out and live with him.

In a few months he read another letter (composed by himself, and copied in another hand), earnestly desiring that they might all come out to him, as it would be much to their advantage.
