The boxes contained such wearing apparel as she herself might have chosen from her wardrobe. The toilet table was comfortably supplied: indeed nothing that she was accustomed to use in dressing herself was absent.,"'Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,,The simple query confounds him more than might a more elaborate one put by a clever worldling.

"Hurrah for the grandest sailor in the world!"Dead silence for a long time.

"I'm a horrid pig to forget," she whispered contritely.

He had been since confined in an apartment of the castle, and was now liberated to obey the summons. The countenance of the marquis exhibited a ghastly image; Ferdinand, when he drew near the bed, suddenly shrunk back, overcome with horror. The marquis now beckoned his attendants to quit the room, and they were preparing to obey, when a violent noise was heard from without; almost in the same instant the door of the apartment was thrown open, and the servant, who had been sent for the marchioness, rushed in.

The table was dismantled, toys, tools, and dishes put away, and the feast had sped into the past.,CHAPTER XXXIII.,The steps of his pursuers gained fast upon him, and he continued to perplex himself with vain efforts at escape, till at length, quite exhausted, he sunk on the ground, and endeavoured to resign himself to his fate. He listened with a kind of stern despair, and was surprised to find all silent.
