e, I should go quite mad — mad with dissfust." 12 THE OCTAVE OF CLAUDIUS. " Oh, Angela, darling ! " said Mrs. Wy- clierley. " You know that I wouldn't force you into anything. There, good night ! We must not sit up any longer, or what will your father say ? You'll come directly, won't you ? " At the drawing-room door she paused a moment, and looked almost beseechingly at her daughter.

There is no role which is more popular ; the feelings of self-satisfaction and superiority help to make life enjoyable, and in consequence it is delightful to rescue. But to be rescued is quite another affair. The thing which is condemned as ingratitude is often a very natural resentment of one who has been placed compulsorily under an obligation.
