CHAPTER I.
UNCLE STILLINGHAST.
"Do you think they will be here to-night, sir?"
"Don't know, and don't care."
"The road is very bad,"--after a pause, "that skirts the Hazel
property."
"Well, what then; what then, little May?"
"The carriage might be overturned, sir; or, the horses might shy a
little to the left, and go over the precipice into the creek."
"Is that all?"
"Is it not dreadful to think of, sir?"
"Well, I don't know; I should be sorry to lose the horses--"
"Oh, sir! and my cousin! Did you forget her?"
"I _care_ nothing about her. I suppose my forefathers must have
committed some crime for which I am to suffer, by being made,
willy-nilly, the guardian of two silly, mawkish girls.
