snare bedroom at the parsonage was
ready to receive either one or both of !
the sisters till Sir Marmaduke should be !
in London, if one or both of them should
choose to come. And though there was
no nursery at the parsonage,-for Mr..
and Mrs. Clubhouse had been blessed
with no children,-still room should be
made for the little boy. But they must
come as visitors,-"As our own nieces,"
said Mrs. Clubhouse. And SIZE went on TO
say that she would have nothing to do
with the quarrel between Mr.. Trevelyan
and his wife. All such quarrels were
very bad,-but as to this quarrel she
could take no part either one side or the
other. Then she stated that Mr.. Treyel-
yGn had been at theparsonage, but that
no arrangement had been made because
Mr.. Trevclyan had insisted on paying
for their board and lodging.
This letter reached NuncOmbe Putney
before any reply was received by Mrs.
Trevelyan from her husband. This was
on the Saturday morning. and Mrs. Ire
velyan had pledged herselfto Mrs. Stan
bury that she would leave the Clock
House on the Monday. Of course, there
was no need that she should do so. Both
Mrs. Stanbury and Priscilla would new
have willingly consented to their re-
naming till Sir Marmaduke should be
in England. But Mrs. Trevelyan's high
spirit revolted against this, after all
that bad been said. She thong ut that
she should hear from her husband on the
morrow, but the post on Sunday
brought no letter from Trevelyan. On
the Saturday they had finished packing
up.-so certain was Mrs. TTevelyan that
some instructions as 10 her future destl-
nv would be sent to her by her lord.
At last they decided on the Sunday
that they would both 20 at ence to st.
DiddulPhs. Or perhaps it would be
more correct to say that this was the de.
cision of the elder sister. Nora would
willingly have yielded to Priscilla's en-
treaties, aud have remained. But Emi.
ly declared that she could not, and
would not, stay in the house. She had
few pounds, what would suffice for her
Journey; and, as Mr.. Trevelyan had not
tuought proper to send his orders TO her,
she would 20 without them. Mrs. Ont
house was her auut, and her nearest rel
ative in England. Upon whom else
could she lean in this time of her great
Attic ioni A letter, therefore, was
written to Mrs. Clubhouse, saying that
the whole party, including The boy and
nurse, would be at st. Dlddulphs on the
Monday evening, and the last cord was
put To the hOXes.

Then she wrote one further line TO her
husband
mo; having received any orders from
you, and having promised Mrs. Stanbu-
ry that would leave this house on Mon

Clubhouse, tomorrow.

drank tea together, and they all made an
effort to be civil, and even atfeG tionate,
TO each other. Mrs. Trevelyan had at
last allowed Priscilla to explain how it
had to come 10 pass that she had told
her brother that 1t would be better Tor
her mother and herself that the existing
arrangements should be brought to an
end, and there had come to be an agree
ment between them that they should
part in amity. Bnt the conversation on
| the Sunday evening was very difficult.
81 am sure we shall always think of
you both with the greatest kindness"
said Mrs. Stanbury.
"As for me-" said Priscilla, "your be-
ing with us has been delight l cannot
describe: only it has been wrong"
81 know too WELL" said Mrs. Trevel-
van. "that in our present circumstances
We are unable to carry delight with us
anywhere"
"You hardly understand what our
life has BEEN" said Priscilla; "but the
truth is that we had no right to receive
YOU in such a house as this. 1t has not
been our way of living, and it cannot
continue to be so. 1t is not wonderful
that people should talk of US. Had it
been called your house, it might have
been better"
"Aud what viii you do now!" asked
Nora.
Get out of this place as soon as we
can. 1t is often hard to 20 back to tie
right path; but it mag always be done,
or at least attempted

velyan.
MY dear, it has not been your fault"
said Mrs. Stanbury.
II do net like to blame my brother"
said Priscilla, "because he has done his
best to be good to us all; and the pun
ishment will fall heaviest upon him be.
cause he must pay for it,"
"He should not be allowed TO pay Il
shilling" said Mrs. Trevelyan.
Then the morning came, and at seven
o'clock the two sisters, with the nurse
ard child, started for LissbOro' station
in Mrs. Crocket's open carriage, the lug
gage having been sent on IN cart.
There were many tears shed, and any
one looking mt the party would have
thought that very dear friends were be-
ing torn asunder.

parlor door was shut. and the two were
alone together, eve must take care that
