And after some while the ivy leaves ted and from the very ground the pale oval of a face glimmered up at f.hle‘m. whereto the gypsy addressed her- self: “All's well, pal” said she. “'Tie Cruffeni Camlo with a friend.” “Aha!” answered the face in jovial tones. ‘“‘Greetings, what's to do? “Who is't ye bring, ma’am? * Sir Richard leaned forward, peering for this was voice he knew well.

And, hat's more, sir, ’'tis haunted!” “And well might be, Nick.” Ay, 'tis marvelous well haunted by a gobling, your honour, also a friar as xofis moaning in bloody robe, right hor- sfble to be heered.” “Have_you heard it, Nick?” “Sir—I have—often!

And now, sir, what d' ye say to a dish o' tea, a bite o’ supper?” “Tea!” Sir Richard requested. “Then please be seated, sir, in the cheer.
