COLIN CLINK,

BY THOMAS INGOLDSBY

BY CHARLES HOOTON

Chapter XII. Briefly details a slight love-skirmish between Sammy and Miss Sower-

soft, which took place before Colin, while that youth was supposed to be asleep, and

also illustrates the manner in which old maids sometimes endeavour to procure

themselves husbands.-Colin's employment at the lodge. He becomes involved

in a dilemma, which threatens unheard-of consequences.

Chapter XIII. Demonstrates, in the case of Miss Sowersoft and Mr. Samuel Pale-

thorpe, the folly of people being too curious about the truth, in matters better left

in the dark. Colin is subjected to a strict examination, in which the judge, in-

stead of the culprit, is convicted. Colin's punishment.
