TREvELYAN BACK IN ENGLAND.

rage, and Lady Milborough's coach and
footman, and with cab ready for the
luggage close behind the carriage, was
waiting at the railway station when the
party from Dover arrived. She soon
saw Hugh upon the platform, and ran
to him with her news. They had not a
word to- say to each other OF them
selves, so anxious were they both re-

Sand think he has borne the journey
pretty well, he feels the heat almost as
badly as in Italy. You will hardly know
him when you see him." Then when
the rush of passengers was gone, Ire
velyan was brought out by Hugh and
the courier, and placed in Lady Mil

his eye fell upon Nora, but he did not

"You will be with us"
Not Just at first. Lady Milborough
thinks I had better net; that he will
like it better. will come down almost
every day, and will stay if you think he
will like it,"
These few words were said while the
men were putting Ire velyan into the
carriage. And then another arrange
ment was made, Hugh hired a second
cab, in which he and the courier made
part of the procession; and so they all
went to Twickenham together. Hugh
had not yet alarmed that he would be
rewarded byooning back alone with
Nora in the carriage.
The cottage by the river Thames,
which, as far as the party knew, was
nameless, was certainly very much bet

at Casalupga. And now. at last, the
wife would sleep once more under the
same roof with her husband, and the
separation would be over. II suppose

Then Nora told her the name of doctor
