truth, his sisters not being within my reach. Mrs. R. has been spending the Easter with the Aylmers at Twickenham (as to be sure you know), and is not yet returned; and Julia is with the cousins who live near Bedford Square, but I forget their name and street. Could I immediately apply to either, however, I should still prefer you, because it strikes me that they have all along been so unwilling to have their own amusements cut up, as to shut their eyes to the truth. I suppose Mrs. R.'s Easter holidays will not last much longer; no doubt they are thorough holidays to her. The Aylmers are pleasant people; and her husband away, she can have nothing but enjoyment.

I give her credit for promoting his going dutifully down to Bath, to fetch his mother; but how will she and the dowager agree in one house? Henry is not at hand, so I have nothing to say from him. Do not you think Edmund would have been in town again long ago, but for this illness?-- Yours ever, Mary."

that its being for you has raised him inconceivably in my opinion. It does him the highest honour; it shews his proper estimation of the blessing of domestic happiness and pure attachment. It proves him unspoilt by his uncle. It proves him, in short, everything that I had been used to wish to believe him, and feared he was not." ¡¡¡¡ "I am persuaded that he does not think, as he ought, on serious subjects." ¡¡¡¡ "Say, rather, that he has not thought at all upon serious subjects, which I believe to be a good deal the case. How could it be otherwise, with such an education and adviser?

Under the disadvantages, indeed, which both have had, is it not wonderful that they should be what they are? Crawford's _feelings_, I am ready to acknowledge, have hitherto been too much his guides. Happily, those feelings have generally been good. You will supply the rest; and a most fortunate man he is to

It came happily while she was thus waiting; and there being neither ceremony nor fearfulness to delay the moment of meeting, she was with him as he entered the house, and the first minutes of exquisite feeling had no interruption and no witnesses, unless the servants chiefly intent upon opening the proper doors could be called such. This was exactly what Sir Thomas and Edmund had been separately conniving at, as each proved to the other by the sympathetic alacrity with which they both advised Mrs. Norris's continuing where she was, instead of rushing out into the hall as soon as the noises of the arrival reached them. ¡¡¡

¡ William and Fanny soon shewed themselves; and Sir Thomas had the pleasure of receiving, in his protege, certainly a very different person from the one he had equipped seven years ago, but a young man of an open, pleasant countenance, and frank, unstudied, but feeling and respectful manners, and such as confirmed him his friend.

Any strongly marked expression of face on the part of a chief actor in a scene of great interest to whom many eyes are directed, will be unconsciously imitated by the spectators. Her forehead was painfully anxious and instent as she gave this evidence, and, in the pauses when she stopped for the Judge to write it down, watched its effect upon the counsel for and against. Among the lookers-on there was the same expression in all quarters of the court; insomuch, that a great majority of the foreheads there, might have been mirrors reflecting the witness,

when the Judge looked up from his notes to glare at that tremendous heresy about George Washington. ¡¡¡¡Mr. Attorney-General now signified to my Lord, that he deemed it necessary, as a matter of precaution and form, to call the young lady's father, Doctor Manette. Who was called accordingly.

In the back kitchen, I raved as became me. I went there, I suppose, to make a fool of myself, and I am quite sure I did it. Miss Mills had received a hasty note from Dora, telling her that all was discovered, and saying. 'Oh pray come to me, Julia, do, do!' But Miss Mills, mistrusting the acceptability of her presence to the higher powers, had not yet gone; and we were all benighted in the Desert of Sahara. ¡
¡¡¡Miss Mills had a wonderful flow of words, and liked to pour them out. I could not help feeling, though she mingled her tears with mine, that she had a dreadful luxury in our afflictions. She petted them, as I may say, and made the most of them. A deep gulf, she observed, had opened between Dora and me, and Love could only span it with its rainbow. Love must suffer in this stern world; it ever had been so, it ever would be so. No matter, Miss Mills remarked. Hearts confined by cobwebs would burst at last, and then Love was avenged.

do? If they allowed me to remain there until my seven shillings were spent, I couldn't hope to remain there when I began to starve. That would obviously be inconvenient and unpleasant to the customers, besides entailing on the Blue Whatever-it-was, the risk of funeral expenses. If I started off at once, and tried to walk back home, how could I ever find my way, how could I ever hope to walk so far, how could I make sure of anyone but Peggotty, even if I got back? If I found out the nearest proper authorities, and offered myself to go for a soldier,
or a sailor, I was such a little fellow that it was most likely they wouldn't take me in. These thoughts, and a hundred other such thoughts, turned me burning hot, and made me giddy with apprehension and dismay. I was in the height of my fever when a man entered and whispered to the clerk, who presently slanted me off the scale, and pushed me over to him, as if I were weighed, bought, delivered, and paid for.

'God knows you have, ma'am,' returned Peggotty. 'Then, how can you dare,' said my mother - 'you know I don't mean how can you dare, Peggotty, but how can you have the heart - to make me so uncomfortable and say such bitter things to me, when you are well aware that I haven't, out of this place, a single friend to turn to?' ¡¡¡¡'The more's the reason,' returned Peggotty, 'for saying that it won't do. No! That it won't do. No! No price could make it do. No!' - I thought Peggotty would have thrown the candlestick away, she was so emphatic with it. ¡¡¡¡'How can you be so aggravating,' said my mother, shedding more tears than before, 'as to talk in such an unjust manner! How can you go on as if it was all settled and arranged,
Peggotty, when I tell you over and over again, you cruel thing, that beyond the commonest civilities nothing has passed! You talk of admiration. What am I to do? If people are so silly as to indulge the sentiment, is it my fault? What am I to do, I ask you? Would you wish me to shave my head and black my face, or disfigure myself with a burn, or a scald, or something of that sort? I dare say you would, Peggotty. I dare say you'd quite enjoy it.'

The effort he made was somewhat palpable as was hislack of ease. He could hardly go on saying how nice this was. The two ladies were not veryhelpful. Elvira smiled very sweetly. Mrs. Carpenter gave a meaningless little laugh, andsmoothed her gloves.
　　"A good journey, eh?"
　　"Yes, thank you," saidElvira.
　　"No fog. Nothing like that?"
　　"Oh no."
　　"Our flight was five minutes ahead of time,"said Mrs. Carpenter.
　　"Yes, yes. Good, very good." He took a pull upon himself. "I hope this placewill be all right for you?""Oh, I'm sure it's very nice," said Mrs. Carpenter warmly,glancing round her. "Very comfortable."
　　"Rather old-fashioned, I'm afraid," said the Colonel apologetically. "Rather a lot of old fogies. No – er – dancing, anything like that."

Luke's indignation melted, leaving only sadness in its wake. "I found out DarthVader was my father," he whispered. "To be a Jedi, Luke, you must confront and then go beyond the dark side—theside your father couldn't get past. Impatience is the easiest door—for you, like yourfather. Only, your father was seduced by what he found on the other side of the door,and you have held firm. You're no longer so reckless now, Luke. You are strongand patient. And you are ready for your final confrontation." Luke shook his head again, as the implications of the old Jedi's speech becameclear. "I can't do it, Ben." Obi-wan Kenobi's shoulders slumped in defeat. "Then the Emperor has alreadywon. You were our only hope." Luke reached for alternatives. "Yoda said I could train another to…" "The other he spoke of is your twin sister," the old man offered a dry smile."She will find it no easier than you to destroy Darth Vader." Luke was visibly jolted by this information. He stood up to face this spirit."Sister? I don't have a sister."

wrappings stepped out of the shadows as they moved away from the corner. Itcontinued staring after them as they disappeared down a bend in the walkway. The docking-bay entrance to the small saucer-shaped spacecraft was completelyringed by half a dozen men and aliens, of which the former were by half the mostgrotesque. A great mobile tub of muscle and suet topped by a shaggy scarred skullsurveyed the semicircle of armed assassins with satisfaction. Moving forward fromthe center of the crescent, he shouted toward the ship. "Come on out, Solo! We've got you surrounded." "If so, you're facing the wrong way," came a calm voice. Jabba the Hut jumped—in itself a remarkable sight. His lackeys likewisewhirled—to see Han Solo and Chewbacca standing behind them. "You see, I've been waiting for you, Jabba." "I expected you would be," the Hut admitted, at once pleased and alarmed by thefact that neither Solo nor the big Wookie appeared to be armed. "I'm not the type to run," Solo said. "Run? Run from what?" Jabba countered. The absence of visible weaponsbothered Jabba more than he cared to admit to himself. There was somethingpeculiar here, and it would be better to make no hasty moves until he discovered whatwas amiss. "Han, my boy, there are times when you disappoint me. I merely wish to knowwhy you haven't paid me… as you should have long ago. And why did you have tofry poor Greedo like that? After all you and I have been through together."
