visit TO Manchester Street, he wrote
note TO Lady Rowley, telling her of the
address at which might be found both
Trsvelyan and his son. As Bozzle had
acknowledged, facts are things which
may be found ont. Hugh bad gone TO
work somewhat after the Bozzlian fash
ion, and had found out this fact. "He
lives at house called Rivers Cottage, |
at Wiilesden," wrote Stanbury. "lfl
YOU turn off the Harrow Road to the
right, about a milo beyond the GENE
tery, YOU will find the cottage on
the left-hand side of the lane, about
a quarter of a mile from the Harrow
Road. believe you can go TO Willes- |
den by railway, but you had better take
o cab from London" There was much
consultation respecting this letter be-
tween Lady Rowley and Mrs. Ire
Velyan, and it was decided that it
should not be shown TO Sir Marmaduke.
To see her child was at the present mo-
ment the most urgent necessity OF the
poor mother, and both the ladies felt
that Sir Marmaduke in his wrath might
probably impede rather than assist her
in this desire. If told where he might
find Trevelyan, he would probably insist
on starting in quest of his son-in'law
himself, and the distance between the
mother and her child might probably
become greater in cOnseq uence, instead
of less. There were many consultations;
aud the upshot of these was, that Lady
Rowley and her daughter determined to
start for Willesden without saying any
thing to Sir Marmaduke of the purpose
they had in hand. When Emily ex-
pressed her conviction that ii Trovelyan
should be away from homo, they would
probably be able to make their way INFO
the hOHse, so as to see the child, Lady
Rowley, with some hesitation, acknOwl-
edged that such might be the case. But
the child's mother said nothing to her
own mother of scheme which she had
half formed of so cliDging to her boy
that no human power should separate
them.
They started in cab, as advised by
Stanbury, and were driven to q point on
the road from which a lane led down to
Willesden, passing by Rivers Cottage.
They asked as they came along, and
met no difficulty in finding their way.
At the point on the road indicated, there
was country inn for haywagoners, and
here Lady Rowley proposed that they
should leave their cab, urging that II
might be best to call at the cottage IN
the quietest manner possible; but Mrs
Trevelyan, with her scheme in her head
for the recapture of their child, begged
that the cab might 20 on; and thus they
were driven up to the door.
Rivers Cottage was not a progresses
ing abode. IL was u new building o
light cOlorod bricks, with q door in the
middle, and enc window on each side
Over the door was q stone tablet bear
ing the Rivers Cottage. There
was little garden between the road
and the house, across which there was a
straight path to the door. In front OF
one window was n small shrub, general
ly called puzzle maker, and in front
of the other was variegated laurel.
There were two small morsels of green
turf, and distant view round the cor
ner of the house of row of cabbage,
stumps. If Trevelyan were living
there, he had certainly come down in
the world since the days in which he had
occupied the house in Curzon Street
The two ladies got out of the cab, and
slowly walked across the little gardens
