The Dandy hated discomfort, and no vehicle but a \"allaciiian waggon could have. been less adaptor! to comniodious transit than that in which he found himâ€" sel‘l. The seat was high and sloping; the roof jammed a new hut down on his eyebrows: the cushions. of a fad- ed plush. i‘a-Lt damp and slippery: the window's r'x'ttled in their frames; the whole interior smelt oi‘ mould, old clothes. and wet straw. llo would have abandoned tho pursuit more than once. but that the spirit of spite, vengnanee. and wounded self lore. kept him Up. As he rumbled on. his suspicious and anticipations of a crowning tri- umph increased more and more.

Mrs. Vande- leur had been rmdy dressed from top to toe when he entered her house a quarter of an hour ago. yet it was at least another quarter of an hour before she emerged. The brown horse. however. made up for lost time. starting off. directly he heard the carriage door bang, at a good twelve miles an hour. Could she be going shopping _ after all? The brougham was pulled up at a stupen- dous establishment for the promotion of feminine extravagance. and its oceupant went in looking extremely like a purchaser: but at the door she spoke to her footman. who touched his hat. mounted the box from which he had lately descended, and was driven slowly away. “'1‘th drivp to the other end of the ‘ troot cant i mm! the Dandy.

There was a great breakfast toâ€"day at the Cowslips. but he had heard her say she should send an excuse. All London would be there. and Mrs. \‘nndeleur seldom refused anything of Lady Syllabub's. There must be some reason for this unusual seclus- ion. Perhaps it was her day for the mysterious expedition?â€"the day of all others she had better havo kept friends with him.
