= Ia that YOU were togo,"

m.pever said that you "ef' '"eo'
saia Mrs, mS son has told Mr.. Trevelyan
puu !,nst yo,D said Nora, who felt
shas We We sense of injury against Hugh
S.anh n was greatly increased by what
Sad taken place. To her mind he was
tbe nerson most important in the mat
fer. Why had he desired that they
should be sent away from the Clock
Housed She was angry with him, and
she declared to herself that she hated
him with all her heart. For this man
she had sent away that other lover,-a
lover who had really loved her And
she had even confessed that it was so /!
There is a misunderstanding about
this" said Priscilla. :,
at must be with your brother, then"
said Nora.
az think not" said Priscilla. u
think that it has been with Mr.. Trevel-
yam" Then she went on to explain,
with much difficulty, but still with a
slow distinctness that was peculiar TO
her, what had really taken place. I'VE
have endeavored," she said, "to show
you-my mother and THAT we have
not misiudged you; but it is certainly
true that teld my brother that l did
not think the arrangement good one,
quite as permanence." 1t was very
difficult, and her cheeks were red as she
spoke, and her lips fsltered. 1t was an
exquisite pain to her to add to the pain
which her words would convey, but
there was no help for it; as she said to
herself more than once at the time,
there was nothing to be done but to tell
! the truth.
81 never said So" blurted out Mrs
Stanbury, with her usual weakness.
"No, mother. 1t was my saying. In
discussing what was best for US all With
Hugh, told him-what haveJus new
explained" :,
"Then of course we must CO." said
Mrs. Trevelyan, who had gulped down
her sobs and was resolved to be tirm,-
to give way to no more tears, to bear all
| without sign of womanly weakness.
"You will stay with us till your father
comes" said Priscilla. ----.
"Of course you VIII, said Mrs. Stan
bury, ''you and Nora. We have got to
be such friends now" ...
"No," said Mrs. Trevelyan. Gas to
friendship for me, it is out of the ques,
ton. We must pack up, Nora, and 60
somewhere. Heaven knows whereT
Nora was now sobbing. "Why your
brother-should want to turn US out
after he has sent us here"
"My brother wants nothing of thu
kind said Priscilla. "Your sister has
no better friend than my brother"
at will be better, Nora. to discuss the
matter no further" said Mrs. Treyelyan
eve must go away-somewhere, anc
the sooner the better. To be al unwel
come guest is always bad; but to be un
welcome for such reason as this Is ter
rible."
"There is no reason" said Mrs. Stan
bury. "Indeed there is none"
"Mrs. Trevelyan will understand Us
better when she is less excited" said
Priscilla. 81 am not surprised that she
should be indignant now. can only
say again that we hope you will stay
with us till Sir Marmaduke Rowley
shall be in England"
THAT is not what your brother
MEANS" said Nora.
"Nor is it what l mean," said Mrs
Trevelyan. "Nora, we had better go tC
our own room. suppose l must write
to my husband. Indeed, of course
must, that l may send him-the cores
pondence. fear / cannot walk out in
to the street, Mrs. Stanbury, and make
you quit of me, till l hear from him.
And if | were TO go to an inn at once,
people would speak evil of me; and l
have no money"
"My dear, how can you think Of such
thing ~ said Mrs. Stanbury.
"But you may be quite sure that we
shall be gone within three days,-oI
four at the furthest. Indeed l will
pledge myself not to remain longer thar
that,-even though should have to &c
to the poor-house. Neither l nor my
sister will remain in any family-to con
taminate it. Come, Nora" And 81
speaking she sailed out of the room, ant
her sister followed her.
