CHAPTER in . THE sun shone brightly , the birds carolled tunefully , the flowing streams rippled gently , and all nature wore an aspect of tranquil enjoyment , as the church bells rang merrily in commemoration of the natal day of Arthur

" ' I should like to speak with you , Arthur , in the library for a short time . " " Defer your lecture , Tremorman ; let Arthur enjoy himself the day he becomes his own master , at all events .

that he could speak or form a will of his own : nevertheless , I must speak to him alone ; follow me Arthur . " The son reluctantly obeyed , muttering , " What a confounded bore these jobations are . " "I hope , Arthur , that you will now firmly resolve to adopt a totally different course of conduct , and select a new set of acquaintance . " "I am sure , sir , that my acquaintance are unexceptionable : they arc all men of better birth than myself . "
