"But surely, Uncle Jen, you don't look upon her as the guilty person!" "You never know what you can do till you try. I'd try for anything I was eligible for, if I couldn't draw a stroke, just to be in with the rest." Judith flushed and tossed her mane with a gratified air.

Having embraced her faithful friend with tears of mingled grief and anxiety, she took a lamp in her hand, and with cautious, fearful steps, descended through the long winding passages to a private door, which opened into the church of the monastery. The church was gloomy and desolate; and the feeble rays of the lamp she bore, gave only light enough to discover its chilling grandeur.

I had just lifted it high in the air when out of the lilac-scented dark of the garden came a laugh. "That gives me the creeps," she remonstrated. "I don't like it.
