Deg that you won't take those things
away said she, till | can find some
place where We can GO. My mother is
very much indisposed this morning
hardly able to sit up
I'm sorry it's out of my power to OBJ
lige you,' said the man, but the lady
that employed me says the house must
be cleared, whether you are ready to go
or not ......... ....
L have done my best to find place
since she 81, mt me word that We must
leave but have not succeeded
'Well, ma'am, if / don't follow the
directions of those who employ me, 1
shall soon have n thing to do, and how
then am to get living? The lady
says if you can't pay the quarters's rent
in advance, she must let the house to
those who can ..'
: | can pay half of it--I sent her
word that could /; and very soon l
hope to be able to pay the rest
AS said before, | am very sorry to
be obliged to do it, for it's bad enough for
people that are we'll, to be turned into
the street, and much more for those
that are sick
Sedley, who had passed on slowly,
and heard most that had been said,
stopped irresolutely, and finally turned
back When arrived opposite the door
step, on which Miss Lindsay stood, he
bid her good morning, and then said to
the man -
If you will return these things to
the place you took them from, | will
promise this lady, in the name of my
sister, who is | believe, indebted to
her, that she shall have the means of
paying the quarters rent, within an
hour or two from this time
L shall be glad to return them, said
the man, for mavin4 them out of tho
house, when there was no other one to
carry them to, is piece of tusiness |
don't fancy
Sedley having taken him aside and
paid him literally for his trouble and
los of time, addressed Miss Lindsay
You shall either see or hear from
Mrs. Onslow, said he, within an hour
at farthest, and before she had time to
answer, he was gone
At this hour in the morning, he was
Of late almost sure to find Claribel with
his sister, and now, when after hasty
walk, he entered the drawing-room
somewhat flushed and excited, his man
ner formed striking contrast to her
placid-almost pensive mood Soft and
starry beams broke from beneath the
jetty lashes of her large blue eyes, as
she for moment raised them at his en-
trance. The lurid fire with which they
sometimes so strangely glowed, and
which had more than once inspired Ell
len with a nameless dread, was all ban
ished now, and pre- occupied as Sedley' s
mind had been, he was for moment
surprised into yielding her the tribute
of that silent, though expressive admi-
ration, more eloquent and fattering
than it would be possible to iniuse into
mere words But he was too earnest
for the accom- plishment Of what he had
undertaken, to be seduccd into forget
ting or neslectiGg it. I've a .eaGes;
to make said he, addressing his sister.
Something of Importance l should
imagine by your looks. What is it p
That you will pay your children's
governess up to the close of the term,
if you have not already paid her. Have
you =
No I have not. She didn't request
to be paid in advance. L must own.
however, that more than once, l have
thought she might need it, but somehow
| always happened to have some sp .cial
use for whatever money l had on hand
and have thus, from day to day, neglect
ed it, till now, nearly half the quarter
is gone. But is it possible that she has
mentioned the subject to you s... .
No, but l accidentally learned, a
short time since, that she is in great
distress for the want Of small SUN, and
| could think Of no more delicate way
of relieving her, than the one suggest
