As I approached the mansion of the sapient Andrew, I heard a noise which, being of a nature peculiarly solemn, nasal, and prolonged, led me to think that Andrew, according to the decent and meritorious custom of his countrymen, had assembled some of his neighbours to join in family exercise, as he called evening devotion.

Ir was upon the evening of this memorable Sunday
that Sir Everard entered the library, where he narrowly
missed surprising our young hero as he went through
the guards of the broadsword with the ancient weapon
of old Sir Hildebrand, which, being preserved as an
