Duke was never at school or college. His

was ncrvously anxious that her sou should
see as little as possible of any but the pnrest
Catholic society till his mind should have
been thoroughly formed, and there should
be no fear Of lis ever ye1lturing to think for
himself on religious questions. She dreaded
:, repetition of the scandal of 1851, when the
lads grandfather seeded to the Church OF
England on the occasion Of the Papal -Ag-

for Arundel, when the Duke and Duchess
marked their displeasure at the action
of the Vatican by repairing to the parish
church for morning service; and men Thought
I'iux TX must have acted rashly indeed to
