“My aunt will come down very soon, Mr. Nuttel,” said a very calm young lady of fifteen years of age; “meanwhile you must try to bear my company.” 　　Framton Nuttel tried to say something which would please the niece now present, without annoying the aunt that was about to come. He was supposed to be going through a cure for his nerves; but he doubted whether these polite visits to a number of total strangers would help much. 　　“I know how it will be,” his sister had said when he was preparing to go away into the country;HYPERLINK javascript: “you will lose yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever through loneliness.
