She left the room again, and came back
again for another last word, addressed ON
this occasion to me. Her better nature made
an effort to express itself, not altogether
without success.
II think it quite likely, Mr. Sarrazin, that
some dreadful misfortune will fall on my

ful disregard Of her mothers objections. In

2.=The Ln1rfLer,S Defense.

| wonder whether the foregoing pages of
my writing paper have been torn to pieces
and thrown into the Waste-paper basket?
You wouldn't litter the carpet. No. [ may
be torn in pieces but do you justice for all
that.
What are the objections to the divorced
husband and wife becoming husband and
wife again? Mrs. PreSty has stated them in
the following order. Am / wrong in asSum-
ing that on this occasion at least you will
agree with Mrs. Presty?
First objection: Nobody has ever done
such thing before.
Second objection: Penitent or not peni-
tent, Mr.. Herbert Linley doesn't deserve it.
Third objection: No respectable person
will visit them.
First reply: The question is not whether
the thing has been done before, but whether
the doing Of the thing is right in itself
There is no clause in the marriage service
forbidding wife to forgive her husband,
but there is a direct prohibition to any sepa-
ration between them. 1t is therefore not
wrong to forgive Mr.. Herbert LinIey and it
is absolutely right to marry him again.
Second reply: When their child brings
him home and takes it for granted that her
father and mother should live together be-
cause they are her Tatllef anu mOtnef, :lnO-
cent Kitty has appealed from the law Of di-
vorce to the law Of nature. Whether Her
bert Linley has deserved it or whether he
has not, there he is in the only fit place for
him, and there is an end of the second OBJ
lection.
Third reply: & fiat contradiction to the
assertion that no respectable person will
visit her. Mrs Sarrazin will visit her. Yes,
you will, my dear. Not because L insist
upon it; do | ever insist on anything? No;
you will act on your own responsibility out
of compassion for misguided old woman.
Judge for yourself if Mrs. Presty is not sadly
in need of the good example of an ornament
to her sex.
The evil genius Of the family joined us in
the cottage parlor when our consultation had
come to an end. I had the honor of COM
municating the decision at which we had
arrived Mrs Presty marched to the door,
and, from that commanding position, adj
dressed few farewell remarks to her
daughter:
Il have done with you, Catherine. You
have reached the limits of my maternal en-
durance at last L shall set up M own es-
tablishment and live again-in memory
with Mr.. Ormond and Mr.. Presty. May you
be happy. l don't anticipate it,
She left the room-and came back again
