It was a dreadful position ta me to be in while we drove to Southampton Qreet, Holbom; uid her coming-to was even more akiming than her going off. At last^ when she wis setued in thn house and got mora calm, she udMsomed herself as follows: ^Yonroonain John iaa wicked and designing Caliowv James; bnt he shall never see a penny of my money—^e has not killed me yet, lean tell hus, and he'll never get another diance P '.. 1-was pleased to hear all this of John, liho is made myself ready, toeeteam.^ moreover, ha^jog rsad'Of Ui'e''poniel'of the human.eye npon' these pmaons,. 1'stared- sit him hard aUd-continnomdy^ and to tMs, in a great measure, I atbibute iny asfe^; for I observM. throughout the journey he wonld cast down his eyes, as if cowed, whenever he piei^ cdved mine fixed upon hint.

After a good deal of conveAation, conducted with some skul on my 'part, I think, he asked all of a sudden if I was gong to London; to wUoh I an- swered that I certaiuy'was; although, of course, I intended to get. out at the very next place we stopped at aoenar thian travd another mile with him. He then add, he waa vary glad to hear it, and hoped that no damp and disagreeable stran- eiB might get into onr carriage on the road. At Iwindon I thought to have ascaped,.underj>ret(mce of getting refiediment; but he insisted with neat politeness—wMdi, however, was jiist of that land wMch might have changed to the wildest ferodty had I objected—on bringing the prorisione to tiie carriage door.

At the few atations we alopped at he made me look out witii him at the window, to give the idea that the carriage was fully occupied, so that I mv- sdf hdped to put aid ont of the questicm.
