Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred, and I am on ill terms with no one member of my great family. But for many years I have led a lonely, solitary life ; — what wound I sought to heal, what sorrow to forget, originally, matters not now ; it is sufficient that retire- ment has become a habit with me, and that I am unwilling to break the spell which for so long a time has shed its quiet influence upon my home and heart. I live in a venerable suburb of London, in an old house..., which in bygone days was a famous resort for merry roysterers and peerless ladies, long since departed. It is a silent, shady place, with a paved courtyard so full of echoes that sometimes I am tempted to believe that faint responses to the noises of old times linger there yet, and that these ghosts of sound haunt my footsteps as I pace it up and down. I am the more confirmed in this belief, because, of late years, the echoes that attend my walks have been less loud and marked than they were wont to be^ and it is pleasanter to imagine in them the rustling of silk 180 MASTER HUMPHREY'S CLOCK brocade, and the light step of some lovely girl, than to recognLse in their altered note the failing tread of an old man.
