alarm of th f gervant . There was a wild ness in his eyes , and an odd smile upon his face when lie spoke , a mingled look of cunning and simplicity , which made the woman doubt whether the man she was conversing with were a knave or a fool , and this puzzled her—she was half afraid and half inclined to laugh , but
she resolutely denied her master , and would have shut the door upon the applicant , had he not , perceiving her intentions , suddenly pushed it wide open , and running through the hall with a loud burst of laughter , rushed into one of the parlours , where
lie threw himself full length upon a sofa , and cried aloud with the air of a monarch , " Send the Doctor to me !"

and as he did thi $ he laughed exultingly , repeating ,.
