DEATH OF GEORGE AUGUSTUS SELWYN 187 



bereft Queensberry of a link with the past. But what 

 of Mie-Mie in this affliction, of whom Sehryu had 

 again obtained possession from the Fagnianis ? The 

 loss of her father by adoption, though it deprived the 

 girl of one of the most tender and kind-hearted of 

 foster-parents, did not- deprive Mie-Mie of her bene- 

 factor's thoughtful care. Selwyn left her the bulk of 

 his private fortune — some £33,000. Whether this 

 magnanimous bequest had any effect on his grace's 

 future conduct, after events must show.
