C. Musgrave (subsequently of Halifax), accidentally doing duty at Grundisburgh, who then introduced me to Sedgwick, Peacock, and T. Musgrave (subsequently of York).

"But much you know of her!" said Rudolph Musgrave, morosely.

"Yours sincerely, "F. MUSGRAVE" The note drops from my fingers, rolls on to my lap, and thence to the ground.

"I don't admire any of them," said Colonel Musgrave, stoutly.

The weapon chance had forged had failed Rudolph Musgrave utterly; and, indeed, he wondered now how he could ever have esteemed it formidable.
