This primary business being happily dispatched, and the gentlemen returned, the new under-graduate and his friends were about to retire, on the suggestion of our hero, when lady Duddle exclaimed-- "Stop! stop! before we goes , pray, Mr. Ollivy, can't I see the missis of the college, as I vant to beg her to be petickler , and see that master Duddle has his sheets vell haired , and a few other little things vitch I should like to mention; besides," added she, "I should like to speak to the maid just for a minute, about making his bed, that he may be sure and have it made high in the middle; for, poor dear! he never can sleep, unless his bed's made high in the middle, and I shan't mind giving her a few shillings to attend to him; for, thank God! we can afford it"
"Pack o' nonsense, Mary," cried uncle Barnaby; "speak to the maid, indeed! as if you didn't know there was no such things allowed at college. Do, pray, let's go about our business; John's now an Oxford scholar, and if he is not old enough to take care of himself now, he never will be." " Poh! poh! " replied her ladyship, "how should you know indeed, Mr. Barnaby, about these things? hold bachelors like you, as never had hany children of their hown ! How is the boy to be taken care of, I vonders , if one doesn't exert one's self, and see that every thing's proper?"

" That's very kind of you, Mr. Ollivy; and I'm sure I'm much obliged to you, and so ought John to be; but there's nothing like vomen in these matters; and I'm sure I think it's very odd you don't allow no such things at college: but I hope, John," continued she, "as you've nobody now to take care of you like , you be sure and mind to tie a hankercher round your neck venever the vind 's hesterly , and don't sit in no drafts !--And pray, Mr. Ollivy," turning to the tutor, who struggled to preserve his gravity, "may I trouble you to be petickler about his chilblains, for he's very subject to chilblains, if he gets his feet vet in vinter ; so vill you be so kind, sir, as to be sure and make him change his stockings and comb his head every Saturday with a small toothed comb?"
"Any good offices of mine, madam," replied Holloway, smiling, "my new pupil may most undoubtedly command; and I trust that the attentions he will receive from me will be, at least, as beneficial to his future interests as those you condescend to point out."
"Thank'ee , sir; I am sure that's wery good of you; and you can't say no more ," replied the lady, who now took her leave, and, with the rest of the party, again returned to the rooms of our hero,

Mrs. Belmont was proud of having a titled lady her guest. "Absolutely, my dear," she said, when writing to Lady Wilmot, "her ladyship is an inmate of our house, and is as quiet and easy as if it was yourself; who certainly are a lady too, but your husband is no lord, as her's was' and she is to have another lord for her husband, and is, besides, the mother of a lord; but as I was saying, she is quiet and easy but not so her woman, who is as troublesome a wench as ever entered a house. "Oh! mem ," said she to me, on their first coming, " I always has a fire in my room, and I'se cannot bear the windor open; as I have the rheumatis in my harm , and the hair always brings it on ." Thus she goes on, like all folks on the other side of the water, clipping the king's English; and then she has such blarney to her lady -- her lady the countess that is to be. "

"You shall hear. -- 'What's all this for?' asked he. God bless your honour! it's for Patrick's liberty; he is as likely a youth as ever you see; but he went mad for the love of me! and then, when his sinses were gone, he did the foolishest thing in the varsal world -- deserted his old father and mother, and went forsooth a sodgering ! But what call can your honour or the king have to him now, when he has lost his sinses ? "
"Did the poor man really go mad?" inquired Louisa.
"Mad, indeed! But to make my long story short," continued Judy, " they made great divarsion at my saying Pat was mad; and seemed to think me mighty cute ; and they said I was a beautiful crature -- that was their word; and that I might pass for a lady any day, with that proud toss of my head, which was mighty quality-like! That was when I hit the wallet a slap in the face for squeezing my hand."

At about eight o'clock the following morning, Louisa was awoke by a rough salutation from Judy, who stood at the foot of her bed, roaring out -- "Miss Lowsy ! Miss Lowsy! will you lie sleeping there all day? Your sweetheart has been walking by the lake this hour. A pretty thing if he throws himself in for grief at your not appearing! Indeed he all as one as said as much; and axed me if I bees your servant ; but I tould him flat as how I bees nobody's servant , excepting, do you see, I sarved them for mere love and affection. After that fashion I am your servant since I was no bigger than a twopenny pipkin , and for certain , I may say, we knowed each other wince we were born. But that's true -- Aba-boo ! Miss! did you hear of the pullalue was in the house yesterday ?" -- continued Judith, with a contemptuous smile.

"I am happy, any how, that goes with her ," said Judith, wiping her eyes. " Troth , I pity the ould madam more than any of yese ; she is for all the world like that poor careful hin that cannot follow her young ducks into the pond: see! there she sits, full of terror, lest they can no more swim than herself; she has not the sinse like you, honey , to consider their natures, and that they are born to support themselves in water: no more is there any fear of my young mistress when she gets among the fine quality. The folks at the Park may say what they will in disparagment -- but she has a great blood as any one in the kingdom. She came here a little piccaniny , and was she not the head of us all?"

Louisa did not awake the next morning, until Judy (Mrs. Kelly's maid), burst into the room, with a large bundle, which she flung down. -- "So, Miss Lowsy ! a pretty time in the day for you to lie soaking ! Get up! and see what your good mother has sent you: -- as fine a suit of clothes as ever my two eyes did see! and indeed I never seed the like, except with the players last Spring-tide. -- Oh, dear!" exclaimed she, opening the parcel, and holding up the gown, "how it rustles and shines!"
"What am I to do, Judy, with such old-fashioned clothes? -- Does my dear mother think I can wear them?"
" Here's a bit of a note I put in my bosom; it will tell you all."

One said, -- " Upon my credit , I thinks it mighty quare sport, collecting them same lumps of stones!" Another wondered "one of his blood, and a ganius of his kind, would be after such low tricks: -- he had not, to be sure , far to stoop; but for such a mighty slight little man , it was a venturesome attempt!" The next inquired who the little lady lady was? and bet a wager, that she had shiners to fill the trunk on her back.
