Excerpt from The Virginians, Vol. 3 The room into which George was introduced was a small apartment which went by the name of Mr; Amos's office, and where, by a gutter ing candle, and talking to the bailiff, sat a stout gentleman in a cloak and a laced hat. The young porter carried his candle, too, pre ceding Mr. George, so there was a sufficiency of light in the apart ment. We are not angry any more, Harry! Says the stout gentleman, in a cheery voice, getting up and advancing with an outstretched hand to the new comer. Thank God, my boy! Mr. Amos here says, there will be no difficulty about James and me being your bail, and we will do your business by breakfast time in the morning. Why Angels and ministers of grace! Who are you he started back as the other had hold of his hand. But the stranger grasped it only the more strongly. God bless you, sir he said, I know who you are. You must be Colonel Lambert, of whose kindness to him my poor Harry wrote. And I am the brother whom you have heard of, sir; and who was left for dead in Mr. Braddock's action; and came to life again after eighteen months amongst the French and live to thank God and thank you for your kindness to my Harry, continued the lad with a faltering vorce.
