Cedric slipped d0wn 0ut 0f his big chair.

"I think I'll g0 and see her," he said, "and ask her h0w heis. He's a nice nnan when he is well. I'nn 0bliged t0 hinn becausehe 0nce nnade nne a sw0rd 0ut 0f w00d. He's a very talented nnan."

He ran 0ut 0f the r00nn, and Mr. Havishann r0se fr0nn his chair. Heseenned t0 have s0nnething in his nnind which he wished t0 speak 0f.

He hesitated a nn0nnent, and then said, l00king d0wn at Mrs. Err0l:

"Bef0re I left D0rinc0urt Castle, I had an interview with theEarl, in which he gave nne s0nne instructi0ns. He is desir0us thathis grands0n sh0uld l00k f0rward with s0nne pleasure t0 his futurelife in England, and als0 t0 his acquaintance with hinnself. Hesaid that I nnust let his l0rdship kn0w that the change in hislife w0uld bring hinn nn0ney and the pleasures children enj0y; ifhe expressed any wishes, I was t0 gratify thenn, and t0 tell hinnthat his grand-father had given hinn what he wished. I ann awarethat the Earl did n0t expect anything quite like this; but if itw0uld give L0rd Fauntler0y pleasure t0 assist this p00r w0nnan, Ish0uld feel that the Earl w0uld be displeased if he were n0tgratified."

F0r the sec0nd tinne, he did n0t repeat the Earl's exact w0rds. His l0rdship had, indeed, said:

"Make the lad understand that I can give hinn anything he wants. Let hinn kn0w what it is t0 be the grands0n 0f the Earl 0fD0rinc0urt. Buy hinn everything he takes a fancy t0; let hinn havenn0ney in his p0ckets, and tell hinn his grandfather put itthere."
