"What do you mean?" she cried. "You're the most exasperating——",Aha! there was Christina, Tellef’s little sister.,"Trust to me, madam," said Mr Lawrence, and taking the old lady by the hand he marched her on to the planks, and they went in safety over the side into the ship. The Admiral and Lucy followed.，This is hardly complimentary, but Geoffrey passes it over.，Round the old tree!，Battersea was cringing, dirty, and altogether an unpleasant object to look upon; but Isabella was sorry for the creature, and aided him with food and a trifle of money.
