CHAPTER XXXIII.

HUGH STANBURY SMOKES ANOTHER PIPE.
Trevelyan was gone, aud Bozzle alone
knew his address. During the first
fortnight of her residence at st. Did
dulphs Mrs. Trevelyan received two
letters from Lady Milborough, in both
of which she was recommended, indeed
tenderly implored, to be submissive to
her husband Anything" said Lady
Milborough, sis better than separation"
In answer to the second letter Mrs. IRE
yelyap told the old lady that she had
no means by which she could show any
submission to her husband even if she
were so minded. Her husband had gone
away, she did not know whittier, and
she had no means by which she could
communicate with him. And then
came a packet to her from her father
and mother, despatched from the Island
after the receipt by Lady Rowley of the
melancholy tidings of the journey to
Nuncombe Putney. Both Sir Marina
duke and Lady Rowley were full of
anger against Trevelyan, and wrote as
though the husband could certainly be
brought back to sense of his duty if
thew only were present. This packet
had been at NuncOmbe Putney, and con-
tanned a sealed note from Sir Marmaduke
addressed TO Mr.. Trevelyau. Lady
Rowley explained that it was imposs-
BILE that they should get to England
earlier than in the spring. Il would
come myself at once, and leave papa to
follow" said Lady ROwley, "only for
the children. III were to bring them,
must take house for them, and the
expense would ruin us. Papa has writ
ten 10 Mr.. Trevelyan in way that he
thinks will bring him to reason"
But how was this letter, by which the
husband was to be brought to reason, to
be put into the husbands hands Mrs.
Trevelyan applied to Mr.. Bideawhile
and to Lady Milborough, and to Stan
barry, for Trevelyan's address; but was
told by each of them that nothing was
known of his whereabouts. She did
net apply to Mr.. BUzzle, although Mr..
Bozzle was more than once in her neigh
borh0od; but as yet she knew nothing
of Mr.. Bozzle. The replies from Mr..
Bideawhile and from Lady Milborough
came by the post; but Hugh Stanbury
thought that duty required him to
make another journey to st. Diddulphs
and carry his own answer with him.
And on this occasion Fortune was
either very kind to him,-or very I'M
kind. Whichever it, was, he found
himself alone for few seconds in the
parsonage parlor with Nora Rowley.
Mr.. Clubhouse was away at the time.
Emily had gone up stairs for the boy;
and Mrs. Clubhouse, suspecting nothing,
had followed her. Miss Rowley," said
he, getting up from his seat, eff you
think it will do any good, l will follow
Trevelyan till / find him."
Chow can you find himi Besides,
why should you give upyour own bust
ness ~
81 would do anythiHg-to serve your
sister," This he said with hesitation
in his voice, as though he did not dare
to speak all that he desired to have
spoken.
81 am sure that Emily is very CRATE
full" said Nora; "but she would not
wish to give you such trouble as that"
IL would do anything for your sister,"
he repeated, ''fOr your sake, Miss Row
ley" This was the first time that he
had ever spoken word to herin such
strain, and it would be hardly too much
to say that her heart was sick for some
such expression. But now that it had
come, though there was a sweetness
about it that was delicious to her, she
was absolutely silonced by it. And she
was at once not only silent, but stern,
rigid, and apparently cold. Stanbury
could not but feel, a. he looked at her,
that he had offended her. Perhaps
ought not tc say as much" said he; "but
il is So"
"Mr. Stanbury," said she, that is
nonsense. IL is of my sister, not of me,
that we are speaking"
Then the door was openSd, and Emily
came in with her child, followed by her
aunt. There was no other opportunity,
and perhaps it was well for Nora and
for Hugh that there should have been
no other. Enough had been said to give
her comfort, and more might have led
to his discomposure. As TO that matter
on which he was presumed to have come
TO ST. Diddulphs, he could do nothing.
He did not know Trevelyan's address,
but did know that Trevelyau had
abandoned the chambers in Lincoln's
Inn. And then he found himself com
PEELED to confess that he had Quarrelled
with Treyelyau, and that they had part
ed in anger on the day of their joint
visit to the East. Everybody who
knows him must quarrel with him."
said Mrs. Clubhouse. Hugh when he
took his leave was treated nv them all
as friend who had been gained. Mrs.
Clubhouse was gracious to him. Mrs.
Trevelyan whispered word to him of
her own trouble. ''If l can hear any.
thing of him, you may be sure that |
will let you know" he said. Then il
was Nora's turn to bid him adieu. There
was nothing to be said. No word could
be spoken before others that should be
of any avail. But as he took her hand
in his he remembered the reticence of
her fingers on that former day and
thought that he was sure there was a
difference.
On this occasion he made his journey
back to the eud of CbaDcery Lane on
the top of an omnibus; and as be lit bis
