Esther made a movement towards the door; but long before she

The Squire was too much relieved to be angry。
'My dear;' said he to Esther; 'you must not agitate
yourself。'
'She had better go up and see him right away;' suggested Van
Tromp。
'I had not ventured to propose it;' replied the Squire。 'LES
CONVENANCES; I believe … '
'JE M'EN FICHE;' cried the Admiral; snapping his fingers。
'She shall go and see my friend Dick。 Run and get ready;

pleasant style upon the shores of England; and why twenty…six
individual copies of the THYMEBURY STAR are received daily at
the door of Naseby House。
