The inevitable subject Of religion comes mp
between them and le finds that although she
is deeply religious, she is neither Roman Cath
olc nor Anglican, but worships in her ON
conscience, which ouly tends to distract him
still more. Theodura's connection with the
freedom Of Italy lets rs into the secrets Of the
reroluhonists-the meetings of the Mazzini
factions in London, the Feuian gatherings and
The operations OF the followers Of Mary
Anne" in France and Of the society Of the
"Madre Eatur1" in Italy. Lothair, having
found that she ii fond OF pearls, sends her 3
string Of them. anonymously, which she begs OF
him to tzke charge Of for her, as she never &C
cepts presents. She folds them up in casket
which she stamps with The eipgle word
aRoma" In the meantime, Lothair comes Of
age and large party is given At bis ancestral
home. at which the Anglican and Catholic
powers again strive for him. Professionalism in
the persons OF ihe Bishop and Lady Co1isande
is arrAyed against Catholicism in
the persona Of the crafty Cardinal, Monsig-
nora Berwick, Father Coleman, and Miss
Arundel The odds are uneven, but Theodore
comes and turns the scale against the Cardi-
ral. Miss Arundel is discounted but hopeful.
