Excerpt from book: moment to forget your dear dead mother. I do not forget her, I do not cease to love her. But, my boy, you are old enough, to know that such an establishment as Curgenven cannot be managed by old Bathsheba. She has kicked over the cauldron already. I must have some one competent to manage. I do not ask you to love my present wife in any degree as you do your own dead mother, but you must honour her as you regard me.' ' Yes, father, ' said Justinian, subdued, ' I will do my best. Do you think she really cares for you, or has only taken you for your money ?' ' I am sure she loves me.' ' If she is good to you I shall respect her. There?I promise that.' ' Do you consider, my boy, ' continued Mr. Curgenven, ' that you have given me great pain to-day ?' 'How so?' ' In absenting yourself on my arrival. It was a slight to my wife, and a cruel blow to me. You little know how you have hurt me.' 'Father ' The lad threw his arms round Mr. Curgenven's neck. ' I am sorry. I was wrong; I was very wrong.' ' And now?one word, Justin, more. You say that your love is to your mother.

For one moment a warmer thought came over me than I ought to have held, and I kissed her. I will not do it again. I promise you, father?by my thoughts and love of my mother.' CHAPTER XXXII.
