CHAPTER III. nss
St. Bridget's was still alive for the
BISHOP was coming to hold visitation in
he town. No bishop had ever come
there before within the memory of man
tor the last one had been old and i'll for
years before his death, and the shephards
o. these days had not thought 1t neediul
to g' about among their Fl 'cks so much
as con s'dered right in tie present time,
mi sheep living in remote towns had to
make ioag journeys when they attended
episcopal gatherings.
Bot that was all To be changed under
the ne W reign; for our. Bishop was not
only great scholar and a great divine,
bat a strong man also, who would 90 into
every corner of his diocese, and see with
his own eyes how matters were going
on. He bad only filed the throne for
two years, and this was his primary
visitation and 1t was to be held in twelve
towns instead of two.
81. Bridget's was one among the
we've. and Mrs. AMBROSE had been
thinking about her luncheon for weeks,
when it occurred 10 the vicar that the
Bishop might kind it convenient to sleep
at st. Bridget's for night either before
o" after the visitation.
He was asked, and accepted by return
of post. He would be glad to stay at st.
Bridget's vicarage on the night Of the
90 h, which was the date of the vista
tinn.
Mrs. Ambrose was delighted with the
honor, but bewildered at the responsibili-
ty; and we had many consultations about
his lordship's comfort, and the proper
mode of entertaining him, and were very
nervous lest something had been omitted
Or forgotten at the last moment.
But when he came we forgot our anxi-
ETY.; he was so pleasant and genial, and
took everything so easily, that thought
he was much less formidable than his
chaplain-a diguifiei personage-who
seemed oppressed by the dignity of his
Office.
1t all went off nicely; the luncheon was
charming, the Bishop affable, the clergy
in full attendance. Only one disappoint-
ment occur cd.
Our singing in the choir was not up to
the mark. Mrs. Henry's voice was not
heard once curing the service, and at
luncheon some of the visitors noticed the
Ommiss on.
"Haye you lost your lovely contraltoP

brose.
Then the conversation drifted into
educational channels, and Mrs. Henry
was forgotten.
But / knew that she had not a cold.
mad heard her singing magnifcently, as
passed the church, when the choir were
practiclng an hour before service, and
her silence puzzles mei
Presently ssthe Bishops courteous voice
was heard, saying
81 hear your school is doing remarkably
we'll, Mrs. Ambrose will you take me
to see it presently ?"
Certainly, my lord"
And as soon as the general gathering
had dispersed, Mr.. and Mrs. Ambrose
