CHAPTER XVII.

A GENTLEMAN COMES TO NUNCOMBE
PUTNEY.
1t soon became known to them all, as
they remained clustered in tho ball,
that Mr.. Glascock was In the house. Mrs.
Stanbury came out to them and inform
ed them that he had been at Nuneomoe
Putney for the last five hours, ana that
he had asked for Mrs. Trevelyan when
he called. 1t became evident, as the al
fairs of the evening went on, tnat MIS-
Stanbury had for few minutes oeeh
thrown into a terrible state OF amaze,
ment thinking that "The Colonel had
onpeared. The strange gentleman, how
ever. having obtained admlttance, eN-
nlained who he was, saying that he was
very DESTROYS of seeing Mrs. Trevelyan
and Miss ROwloy.
II NAV be presumed that gllmmer
of light did make its way into MIS-
Stanbury's mind on the subject; but,
mn to the moment at which the three
travellers arrived, she had been In DOUBT
on the subject. Mr.. GlascOck had do.

After his dinner Mr.. Giascock had re-
turned to the Clock House, and had
been sitting there for an hour with Mrs.

night" said Mrs. Stanbury III whisper
5Of course you must see him before he
goes ~ said Mrs. Trevelyan TO her sister.
There had, as was natural, been very
much said between the two sisters
about Mr.. Glascock. Nora had abstain
ed from asserting in any decided way
that she disliked the man, and had al
WAYS absolutely refused TO allow Hugh
Stanbury's name to be mixed mp with
the question. Whatever might be her
own thoughts about Hugh Stanbury,
she had kept them even from her sister.
When her sister had told her that she
had refused Mr.. GlascOck because OF
Hugh, she had shown herself to be in
dig1ant, and had since that said one or
two things as to her capacity to refuse
a brilliant offer simply because the man
who made it was Indifferent TO her.
Mrs. Trevelyan had learned from her
that her sutton had declared his inten'
ton to persevere; and here was perse-
yerance with q vengeance "Of course
Won must see him-at once" said Mrs.
Trevelyan. 3,
Nora for a few seconds had remained
silent, and then had run up to her room.
Her sister followed her instantly.
"What is the meaning of it all I" said
Priscilla to her mother.
az suppose he is in love with Miss
Rowley," said Mrs. Stanbury.
"But who is he 7"
1Hhen Mrs. Stanbury told all that she
knew. She had seen from his card that
he was An Honorable Mr.. GlascOck. She
had collected frem what he had said that
he was an old friend of the two ladies,
Her conviction was strong in Mr.. Glas-
cocks favor,-thinking, as she express
ed herself, that everything was right
and proper,-but she could hardly ex-
plain why she thought so.
al do wish that they had never come"
said Priscilla, who could not rid herself
of an idea that there must be danger IN
having to do with women who had men
running after them.
"Of course I'll see him." said Nora to
her sister. 81 have not refused 10 see
him. Why do you scold met
al have not scolded you, Nora; but l
do want you to think how important
this is"
"Of course it is important
