"Count Gondimar replied in the negative." "Then, Sir, I must trouble you with those affairs which most nearly concern him." "Your name, I think is Macpherson?" said Count Gondimar. You lived with the Countess of Glenarvon." The man bowed, and giving a letter into the hands of the Count, "I am come from Italy at this time," he replied, "in search of my late master—La Crusca and myself." "Is La Crusca with you?" said Gondimar starting. "The letter will inform you of every particular," replied the man with some gravity. "I shall wait for the child, or your farther orders." Saying this, he left the Count's apartment; and returned into the anti-chamber, where a beautiful little boy was waiting for him.
