Miss Hulm, you will do well to do so, One of the house-maids went to the top of the lawn, near where it joins the Squire’s Coppice, 3 little 'while since, to deliver a. message to one of the labourers. Hearing voices, she looked over the hedge and wit- nessed what she described to me 'as a ‘shameless flirtation’ between your- self aud Squire Todhetly of the Grange. In' fact, my cousin Todhet-. ly seemed about to kiss you. The approach of a gentlemen on horse-p back caused the mid to retireme the hedge, but her observation had been suficiently complete. Now I wish to say that Todhetlyâ€"although heis my cousin, and I do not like to speakill of the last representative of an old country familyâ€"is very wild and dissolute. He thinks nothing of! snatching a kiss from a. red-checked chamber-maid or barmaid, but that the governess-of my daughter-sshould receive his Bacehanalian salutes, and encourage him in making them, is nearly incredible.
