CHAPTER LXI.

PARKER's HOTEL, MOwBRAY STEEF.
Within week of the occurrence which
is related in the last chapter, there came
a telegram from Southampton to the
parsonage at st. Diddulph's, saying that
Sir Marmaduke and Lady ROwley had
reached England. On the evening of
that day they we're to lodge at a small
family hotel in Baker Street, and both
Mrs. Trevelyan and Nora were to be
with them. The leave taking at the
parsonage was painful, as on both sides
there existed feeling that affection and
sympathy were wanting. The uncle and
aunt had done their duty, and both Mrs.
Trevelyan and Nora felt that they ought
to have been demOnstrative and cordial
in their gratitude; but they found it i'm
possible TO become so. And the rector
could not pretend but that he was glad to
be rid of bis guests. There wore, too,
some last words about money to be
spoken, which were grievOus therns in
the poor mans flesh. Two bank notes,
however, were put upon his table, and
he knew that unless he took them he
could not pay for the provisions which
his unwelcome visitors had consumed.

this matter. Another such winter as

said, when his wife tried to comfort him
after they were gone. 81 know that
they have both been very good to u.s.
said Mrs. Trevelyan, as she and her SIS
ter, together with child and the nurse,
hurried away towards Baker Street in a
cab; "but | have never for moment
felt that they were glad TO have us
"But how could they have been glad to
have us" she added afterwards, when
We brought such tronble with Us ~ But
they to whom they were going now
would receive her with JOY, would make
her welcome with all her load of sorrows,
would give to her a sympathy which 1t
was impossible that she should receive
from others. Though she might not be
happy now,-fOr in truth how could she
be ever really happy again,-there
would be a Joy 10 her in placing her
child in her mothers arms, and i'll re-
ceiving her fathers warm careSses.
That her father would he very vehement
in his anger against her husband she
knew well, for Sir Marmaduke was a
some support for her in the very VIC
lence of his wrath, and at this moment
it was such support that she most
needed.
AS they jourpeyed together in the cab,
the married sister seemed to be in the
higher spirits of the two. She was sure,
at any rate, that those TO whom she was
going would place themselves on her
side. Nora had her own story to tell
about Hugh Stanbury, and was by no
means so sure that her tale would be re-
ceived with cordial agreement. "Let
me tell them myself" she whispered TO
her sister. mot tonight, because they
will have so much to say to you; but |
shall tell mamma tomorrow
The train by which the RowleyS were
to reach London was due at the station
at 7.30P. NJ, and the two sisters timed
their despatch from 81. Diddulph'sso as
to enable th0m 10 reach the hotel al

mamma said Nora, because they Will
have 50 much luggage, and so many
things, and the trains are always late"
When they started from the door of the
parsonage, Mr.. Clubhouse gave the di-

TO console himself in that they were
gone.
1t was long drive from ST. Did
dulph's in the east to MaryleboHe in the
west OF London. None of the party in
the cab knew anything of the region
through which they passed. The cab
man took the line by the back of the
bank, Flnsbury Square and the CITY
Road, thinking it best, probably. Ia

Quit. But of this Mrs. Trevelyau and
Nora knew nothing. Had their way
taken them along Piccadilly, or throupi
May Fair, or across GrOsvenor Square
they would have known where they
were; but at present they were no
thinking of those snce much-loveC
localities. The cab passed the Angel
and up and down the hill at PentonYille
and by the Kings Cross stations, ant
through Euston Square,-and then i
turned up Cover Street. Surely, tn
man should have gone ON along the New
koad, now that he had come so far on
