CHAPTER XCI.

The conversation, which had now be-
come very disagreeable, was not allow
ed to 90 any farther. And it was well
that it should be interrupted. They all
knew that Sir Marmaduke must be
brought round by degrees, and that both
Nora and Lady Rowley had gone as far
as was prudent at present. But all
trouble on this head was suddenly end
ed for this evening by the entrance OF
the waiter with telegram. lJ was ad-
dressed to Lady Rowley, and she opeuo i

In few minutes they were so much |
disturbed that no one quite knew what
should be done at once. Lady Rowley |
began by declaring that she would go

pointed out that thus was impossible,

Lady Rowley asked whether Hugh
would 90, and Nora asserted that he
wOnld go immediately as matter OF
CuurSe. She WAS sure he would 60, let
the people at the ID. Il. say what they
might. According 10 her. there was
always somebody at the call OF the ediT tor
of the ID. Il. to do the work of anybody
else, when anybody else wanted 10 go
away. Sir Marmaduke shook his head,
and was very uneasy. He still thought
that a lawyer would be best, feeling, no
doubt, that if Staubury's services were
used on such an occasion, there must be
an end fail opposition to the marriage.
Bnt before half an hour was over Stan
bury was sent for. The boots Of the
hotel went off in cab to the office of
the h. Il. with a note from Lady Row
ley. Dear Mr.. Stanbury-We have had
a telegram from Emily, and want to see
you, at once. Please come. We shall sit

1t was very distressing to them be-

was all bat impossible that Mrs. Ire
Velyan should be with them before they
had sailed, and il was quite ont OF the
question that they should now postpone
their journey. Were Stanoury TO start
by the morning train on the iolloWlng
day, he could not reach Slena TIL the
afternoon of the fourth day; and let the
result be what IL might When he arrived
there, It weuid be out of the question
that Emily TIevelyan should come back

They all sat up waiting for Hugh
Stan bury till eleven, twelve, one aud
two O'Clock at night. The boots had
returned saying that Nj. Staubury had
not been at the office OF The newspaper,
but that, according 10 information re-
ceived, be certainly would be there that
night. No other address had been given
to the man, and the note, had therefore
of necessity been left at the office. Sir
MaTmaduke became very trettul, and
was evidently DESTROYS OF being liber-
ated from his night watch. But be could
not go himself, aud showed his Impati-

that she should certainly remala in her
