ntages, he has a very fine property; but still many
girls might--and I can quite understand their not liking to marry him.'

'Why, Mrs. Gould, what is wrong with him?' Alice asked innocently.

'Don't you know?' said May, winking. 'Haven't you heard? But I forgot,
he isn't your side of the county. He's married already; at least, so

the good matches in the county.'

'Ah! so we were,' said the old lady. 'Well, there is Mr. Adair. I am
sure no girl would wish for a better husband.'

'Oh, the old frump! why he must be forty if he's a day. You remember,
Alice, it was he who took me down to dinner at Lord Dungory's. And he
