CHAPTER XVI.
THE NEW TUTOR.

Mr. Tuapprvs Starr was a pale young man,
who had studied himself almost into a con-
sumption, and now came into the country to
recruit his health. His dark hair was care-
fully arranged around a forehead fair and high,
beneath which glowed a pair of dark, grey
eyes. In his dress and person he was scrupu-
lously neat, and in his manners perfectly polite
and well-bred.

Mrs. Cramer, who was really lady-like in
manners, received Mr. Starr with politeness.
Mr. Cramer was civil, but distant; Howard
indifferent, and George as rude as a bear.

The school-room was an elegant carpeted
apartment, fitted up with neat mahogany
desks, globes, and philosophical apparatus.
