This was by no means the first conver- sation my husband and I had had about our only child and :puilcd pet; but it is a fair speciuicnof many, and ended, like the others, hy letting the subject. drop. IIovcchr, as winter approached, wedccid- ed on moving iuLo 13â€", and took apart- ments for 21. short. time. My husband soon became restless; 11c "hated lodgings,” he said, and thought Georgina, accustomed to run about the country, would fall ill if confined 10 our small rooms. Ilu would take a house: then she Could play Wllx-X‘e she chose, and run up and down stairs to her heart‘s con- tent, especially on wet days. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO U 1‘ Taking a. house, however, is more passily uccomplishcd' m 1» 01d than do: ed. W mtcr in the séasion in E , and this, it w: predicted; Would be an uimsunliy good one. Rent-s rose in proportion. Our means were then rather straightened; not so our ideas, hmvever. We were both fastidious, and I fear the house agent found us rather unreasonable. I got so til-ed of walking up and down stairs in empty houses, and also felt. so chilled, that. at, Inst I allowed George to take all the trouble of visiting and view- ing those in the list sent us by Mr. Letts. When he came home, ahd reported what he had seen, I listened with due attention; but on' considering cixrel‘ully, there was generally some drawback. One day, George came in With a. radi- ant countennnaes and said: “My dear, I am sure I have found the exact house to suit us.” “ Where?” was‘my first question. He named a dull, but Mi‘stbcmtic part of the city. I listened with great defer- ence while he‘ expatiated on the merits of this habitation, and described it from “ garret to basement.” It certainly'seem- ed unobjectionable. The rent was the next point; that also was in our favour. So it was arranged that I should accom- pany George next day to see it; and he politely said that my decision should be ,final. “ La. nuit port-e conseil.” In the wake- ful moments of night I resolved that, if the new house» was one where I could make niy family, at all comfortable, I would not discourage the evident. desire of George to take it.” In this inood I accompanied my bus- band next morning. When we reached our destination I; thought. its appéarance unexceptionable. When we had trav- ersed it all, I said :â€" “I think we may decide on settling ourselves here.” “I quite agree with you," said my bus- band, “ I knew what. your opinion would tin: cure, nut ail}; >1 Iii" M“.

Mac'l‘avish found some excuse to enter ‘ the room to see the result of his nmstcr's vigil; he approached also: the other scr- vzmts in a. short time followed, as if gut:.~'s- ing something was Wrong. An astonished circle formed around the chair, and an agreement Was made in whispers that none should stir till its occupant should go. But how that came to pass was ix.- comprchensible. He disappeared with the eyes of all our circle still lixed on him. 1 How can I describe it? I can only say he was and he was not. In order to certify! himself of his absence, my husband was‘ going to seat himself in the chair; but Georgina. interposed and would not suil'er it, evidently in fear that the chair might sink through the lowest depths of the l earth. ‘ i My’husbund's next proceeding was to lcull on Mr. Lctts, the house agent, who seemed so overwhelmed with amazement that more simple people might have be- : lieved that he had never lmud of such a. ! thing before. However, in the evening my maid Went out, and in some of the sheps near in, quired about. the house as if she had been a. stranger to it, and heard that no one stayed very long in it- some of the less cautious of the usual gossip retailers tell- ing of an old gentlemen who had been seen in it for many years, but who never “ did any harm.” --’- .. .i, -1- n--.’ __,,~ :- Next mormng I had a severe attack of neuralgia, an occasional tormentor, then brought 'on by the agitation of the proce- ding days. George fétched a doctor, and we related to him the extraordinary inci- dent that had befallen us. He readily admitted that he had often heard the story, and strongly advised our breaking the lease, and added that I must have a complete ,change of.air and scene. My husband again called on Mr. Letts, who, , after much pressure; allowed that because liuy Eabit in. rm-clmir. The “ We' area at last ~F61£11natc “ we “Ln-pea The house-agént' was silent.
