Edgar ; this she declined. She had not, she said,
for many weeks seen him, except in the presence of a
third person ; but she promised me that, in honour
of my arrival, she would dine at the table that day.
It was a formal and melancholy dinner, and Mr.
Chambers, who made the fourth of our little party,
was the only unembarrassed person among us. Lady
Falkland quitted us soon after dinner. Mr. Chambers
and I joined her in the drawing-room, but Sir Edgar
had retired to his study. Lady Falkland was sad and
silent ; in fact, the whole room presented' a dreary
appearance ; her harp and pianoforte were in packing-
cases ready for removal ; a table near the window,
which used to be covered with engravings, books in
gay bindings, and a splendid album, was now diSpoiled
of all its ornaments ;-her writing-desk and work-box
were not in their accustomed places,' and a beautiful
portrait of herself, taken before her marriage, was
removed. •

" Mr. Chambers retired early. I made one more
attempt to work on the feelings of Lady Falkland. I
even appealed to the weakness of her character, by
endeavouring to represent to her the consequence and
responsibility of the situation she was deserting, and
the insignificant station in society held by a separated
wife; but Lady Falkland wa's not worldly or ambi-
tious, she was only vain and exacting ; she persevered
in her resolution, and I sorrowfully bade her good
night. All that now remained in my power was
fervently to entreat the heavenly Disposer of events,
in my prayers, to have pity on these poor deluded
young people, to change their proud hearts, to bow
their headstrong spirits, and to lead them at some
future time again to find comfort and happiness in
each other. I remained wrapt in thought for about
an hour, looking with dread to the events of the
morrow, and at length fell asleep.
" I awoke again; it was still dark, and I was im-
mediately sensible of a decided smell of fire. I was
thoroughly alarmed; several fires had lately taken
place in that neighbourhood, which were supposed to
be the work of a man of low character and habits, who
had rendered himself offensive to many of the sur-
rounding families ; and this man, the garrulous old
steward had informed me on the preceding day, had
been threatened by Sir Edgar with a prosecution for
poaching, and had been heard to vow that he would be
revenged on him. I instantly aroused Sir Edgar; we
gave the alarm to the servants, and finding that the
fire had only reached a part of the building, and that
we had plenty of time for our operations, I dismissed
some of them to the neighbouring farm-houses for
assistance, and employed others to rescue whatever was
most valuable and important from the flames.
" First of all, however, I spoke to Lady Falkland's
own maid, telling her to awaken her lady gently and
quietly, to explain to her that the flames were yet far
from the part of the house where she slept ; and,
having assisted her to dress, to conduct her to a large
covered summer-house at the bottom of the garden,
where I desired all the females of the family to assem-
ble for the present. Sir Edgar and I were actively
employed for some time in directing the labours of the
servants, who removed many articles from the house;.
at length the flames spread with such rapidity that we
were compelled to desist, and I walked down to the
summer-house to console and re-assure Lady Falk-
land. Imagine my surprise at discovering that she
was not there. Her maid informed me that on enter-
ing her room she found it vacant, her bed had not
been slept on, nor were any of her clothes to be disco-
vered; it was evident that she had been awake and
sitting up at the time of the alarm, and had provided
for her own safety by flight.
"I must say that I felt more angry with Lady Falk-
land than terrified about her, for I supposed that, un-
willing to identify herself with the interests of her
household, or to run the risk of any communication
with the husband she was about to leave, she had
sought a refuge in one of the farm-houses in the
vicinity. I thought it right, however, to inform Sir
Edgar of her absence, and was returning to the front
of the house with that intention, when I was startled
by a piercing shriek from Lady Falkland's maid, who
followed me. I looked up in the direction to which
she pointed, and at the window of a little apartment
above the drawing-room, what was my horror tobehold
Lady Falkland making despairing signs for assistance !
This little room had been a great favourite with Sir
Edgar and herself during the early months after their
marriage, on account of the extensive prospect it com-
