The gentleman upon the floor had now gotten unsteadily to his feet. Mr.

Haward took snuff with each of the six; asked after the father of one, the

brother of another; delicately intimated his pleasure in finding the noble

order of Mohocks, that had lately died in London, resurrected in Virginia;

and fairly bowed the flattered youths out of the store. He stood for a

moment upon the threshold watching them go triumphantly, if unsteadily, up

the street; then turned to the interior of the store to find MacLean

seated upon a stool, with his head against the table, submitting with a

smile of pure content to the ministrations of the dove-like mover of the

late turmoil, who with trembling fingers was striving to bind her kerchief

about a great cut in his forehead.
