CHAPTER XXV.

THE RowLEYS Go OVER THE ALPS.
By the thirteenth of May the Rowley
family had established itself in Flor
ence, purposing to remain either there
or at the Baths of Iucca till the end of
June, at which time it was thought that
Sir Marmaduke should begin to make
preparations for his journey back to tie
islands. Their future prospects We're
not altogether settled. 1t was not de-
cided whether Lady Rowley should at
once return with hun, whether Mrs.
Trevelyan sheuld return with him.
nor was it settled among them what
should DO the fate of Nora ROwley. Nora
Rowley was quite resolved herself that
she would not go back TO the Islands,
and had said as much to her mother.
Lady Rowley had not repeated this to
Sir Marmaduke, aud was herself in
doHbt as to what might best be done.
Girls are understood by their mothers
better than they are by their fathers.
Lady Rowley was beginning to be
aware that Nora's sbstinacy was too
strong to be overcome by mere words and
that other steps must DO taken if she
were to be weaned from her pernicious
passion for Hugh Stanbury. Mr.. Glas-
cock was still IN Florence. Might she
not be cured by further overtures from
Mr.. Glascockf The chance of securing
such q son-in law was so important, so
valuable, that no trouble was to great
TO be incurred, even though the prob
ability of success might not be great.
liz must not, however, be supposed
that Lady Rowley carried Oft all the
family to Italy, including Sir Marina
duke, simply in chase of Mr.. Glascock.

Trevelyaa had escaped from Willesden
with the child, aud they had heard, =
again through Stanbury,-thath he had
returned to Italy. They had all agreed
that it would be we'll that they should
leave London for a while, and see some
thing of the Continent; and when it
was told to them that little Louis was
probably in Florence, that alone was
reason enough for them to go thither.
They would 90 to the city till the heat
was too great and the mosquitoes too
powerful, aud then they would isit the
baths of Lucca for 4 month. This was
their plan of action, aud the cause for
their plan; but Lady Rowley found her
self able to weave into IL another little
plan of her own, of which she said moth
ing to anybody. She was not running
after Mr.. Glascock; but if Mr. Glascock
should choose to run after them,-or her,
