The Wolf, I say here, for you'll find The marquis, immersed in the dissipations of Naples, seldom remembered the castle, or its inhabitants. His son, who had been educated under his immediate care, was the sole object of his pride, as the marchioness was that of his affection.

The other boy laughed. “My old man would whale the tar out of me if he caught me monkeying around up there.” Truth now glimmered upon the mind of Julia, but so faintly, that instead of enlightening, it served only to increase her perplexity. Bob paid no attention to this outburst, letting it go past his ears. Wesley’s voice from behind took up the refrain..
