~. T a"n' VI ene MISSES lrior' VINO lved at
EAeter' seilt LOT thcm soon after the death
Of their mother. and SO thev were separated

behaved, amiahle girl. with great personal
attractions, while the two Misses Prior re.
turned to London after an absence Of three
years, more plain than they were before
and in addition had become oycrhearIng, i'm
pertinent and intolerably inauisitiye.
The above conversation is specimen Of
their inquisitorial propcnsities Whenever
they called on Mrs. Ellison they 2cstered
her with questions from the time of their
entrance until that of their departure.
They wanted to know where Louisa was
going, and where she had come from they
wanted to know who the lady was that
they had seen her with at the opera the
other night they wanted to know WHY
she wore a green silk dress 50 early on
Mohuay morhlng-ln snort, hey wanted
TO know everything On this particular
occasion they were het,Ied at not beng
ape 70 discover where Louisa was gong.
At hrst Louisa answered their questions,
put III last she grew tired OF DONG 50, and,
uiSguSteu with their want OF good manners
seiioui or never gave th'm the Information
