Just the moment wheu tlie fair Nopsy was admiring herself iu the looking glass, the judge uuexpeetedly eutercd the room ; and poor Nopsy, catching a sight of the stern counteuance looking over her shuulder in tbe glass was so alanned that she fainted, and would have fallen to the ground, if the learued judge, impelled by humanity, had not eaught her in his ut ns.
